So I asked a few people about what category to race this past Sunday at the Yankee TT. Most said Sport Women on my geared bike. But I don't want to ride my geared bike. Like, not even a little. Ever. I want to ride my SS even if it means losing. People couldn’t understand why I would want to ride in a race I surely wouldn't win. It is a little like entering into a doomed relationship. "Why would you do that to yourself?” Eric said. "Ride your geared bike and kick ass in Women Sport!"

I am a Bad Ass ;)
