At the Greenbriar mountain bike race in Maryland on April 30th, the Velo Bella-Kona Mid-Atlantic team was staked out on prime real-estate under the shade of a big ol' tree and with beautiful views of the mountains, lake, and the Trek-VW team....
But alas, our minds were on things other than lycra-clad gents. We were there to race our bikes over the hills and rocks typical to these parts of the western pan-handle on the north-western edge of the Blue Ridge.
Super-mom Hillary not only looked after everyone making sure we all had everything we needed, she did feeds for more people than she has hands and helpers for, she helped Alicia get ready to race, she supported hubbie Morgan for his race, and she dealt with the pre-race jitters and raced her very first bike race. I'd say that's a full day. And she came home with a medal. Not bad for a first-timer.Meanwhile Alicia, with more confidence and speed every-year, came out once again to reclaim her Maryland state championship title in the junior women's race. Later in the day, Melanie raced in the expert category and took home third place in her category.
