Sister madonna's bike was racked right next to my husband's at IMC. She was so pleasant and gracious when people stopped to talk or ask for pictures etc. (I didn't have the nerve and really I kept thinking I would not want to be interrupted as I was sorting out my food etc prior to race start so I didn't ask)
I hope I get to meet her again sometime she really is an inspiration.

Ok, so I gotta ask: what does she ride?

Looks like a Cannondale, at least when she was 77.

I vaguely remember hearing about her, but this thread has led me to more googling and reading and thank you for that, as she is amazing and I'm loving reading about her.

I saw a video interview with her where she was pulling that bike out of a van and talking to it and calling it "Blue Angel."
I think she said "good morning" to it, as she was just getting up after camping at a race site."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

I want to look like that when I'm 77!! I sure hope I can still do anything at 77.

And I think everyone took the high road in not mentioning the wetsuit company. Nice for a change.Last edited by spindizzy; 09-09-2010 at 05:56 PM.

I'd be happy to look like that now! Originally Posted by spindizzy
