  7. A brief description of you and your riding: I started racing bikes on the velodrome in 1985, and worked my way through criteriums, road, cyclocross and cross country racing before finding my home on the Pro Downhill circuit in 1998. In 2011, with three Masters World Downhill Championships and 25 years of racing in my pocket, I turned my focus to coaching and started Dirt Rock n Root Training LLC. My main objective is to bring more women and kids into mountain biking and to promote mountain biking as a lifetime sport.  I prefer riding rocky, technical trails - just like we have in north NJ where I learned to mountain bike.  Downhill is still my favorite type of riding, and when not coaching, you can find me shredding the trails at Mountain Creek Bike Park.  Mountain biking for me is more than just a form of exercise, it is a way of life and helps me keep my head on straight.  While it can't solve every problem, a day on the bike can make life easier.
