My Cycling Career

My parents bought me my first Trek when I was three years old.  I learned quickly how to ride without training wheels.  I rode in my first long distance race called the Tour de Donut when I was just six years old.  It was the summer of 2005 and it was very hot.  The race was 32 miles.  My mom checked up on my Dad and I every few miles, just to make sure I was ok.  There was a camera crew there that documented my ride.  It was quite cool, but I was tired and speechless in the end.  I have now moved on to riding longer distance races which includes the Tour de Cure for diabetes of which I recently made the 50 mile course for the third time and raised over $400.00 for the American Diabetes Association.  This past weekend I rode in the Gateway Cup in Benton Park of downtown St. Louis.  I raced in the 11-12  category and got first place. I am currently looking for a road bicyle team to join. I am also training for the Pedal the Parkland witch is a 66 mile course. I have passion for bike riding and somday hope to be a pro cylist in the Tour De France.
