In loving memory of Maura (1964-2008), my best friend. This blog is a gift to our sons, Sam and JJ and to everyone who knew her. The entries are in no particular order but are tagged by year and subject. Most everyone know she raced bikes for a long time but did not really see her at races. As anyone can see, she is big on cycling, Hawaii, anything pink and most importantly, life.

Racing With The Big Boys
This was at some criterium, I'm guessing around 1993 (from her Cannondale bike and Canyon Velo jersey). Women's races were usually combined by the promoter with men in order to get a bigger field (and I assume to save on prizes). She can hang with guys typically until the final sprint, when testosterone usually drives who takes the most risk in bumping elbows and bikes.
