Let's race the GFNY!
I'm Paola Monroy, Colombian, a Biologist from the National Universiy of Colombia. I live in Bogotá and I practice MTB and road cycling.
I started training road cycling on a recreative cheap bike 3 years ago. It was not a competitive bike: 10kg and 8 speeds (Shimano Claris and an aluminium frame). Last year, I had the opportunity to race the Gran Fondo La Ruta Colombia, Antioquia. I won it and the prize was an Amira Sworks frame. That was the first step towards getting a competitive bike and win more races. And SO I DID!!!
A few weeks ago, I raced the GFNY Colombia and, again, I won!!! :3
As a prize I got the subscription to the GFNY in NYC!!!
I REALLY want to go there, compete and win but I need your help to do it. The travelling expenses (visa, tickets, food and bike transportation) aren't cheap at all and the race, to take place on May 20, is nearing fast.
I would be greatly thankful and deeply indebted if you were able to support me and help me in pave my professional career! Thank you so much!
