Very Cool Kim! I love to read your race reports, they are so exciting!!! Well done! when's your next one?

Wow, that's great! What a great race.

I am dumbstruck that a 12 year old is out there doing so well. That's just fantastic!

How fun and congratulations! Thanks for writing up the strategy. I love following that.

I worked reg for the Davis Crit last year and it was great to see all the young women (though 12 is really more girl than woman) show up. I can't remember her name but a 19 yr old Velo Bella from Minnesota was there and did really well.

That was Leisel and she actually went pro mid-summer. IIRC, she was from Norway or Sweden and in the states to race and study and gain more experience. She was picked up by a european team.

Hi All --

Up late reading and deleting all my old email and came upon the reply link to this thread. Just wanted to put in a little update on Katrina Howard, my 12-year-old teammate.

I think I'm giving her a new name: Katrina How-it's-done, because she's now a triple USA Champ -- she won the Junior Girls Nationals in Time Trial, Road, and Criterium this year. Soooo friggin' awesome!!

We on the Central Valley Cycling (CVC) team are all SOOO terrifically proud of her. She's got great things in her future, for sure.

Good night...Zzzzzz....
