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.

1998-1999 USCF License
Maura got this racing license in 1998 when she was pregnant with Sam (who was born June that year). She obviously didn't race that year and no club affiliation. However, she did this to maintain her Road Category 2 license (Cat 1 is reserved for the US National Team). Was she thinking of racing the year after Sam was born? Knowing her, I'm sure she was considering it. But the time commitment of racing (15-20 hrs a week on the bike) obviously conflicted with the arrival of baby Sam. She ended up giving up competitive cycling completely when JJ was born in 2000.
