Yikes. That's the girl that dropped me on the Hook Mtn climb last September on the Nyack Ride @ the end.
Whoah.
Whoah.

I **** you not boys.
Give me a break. I'm confessing to being dropped by a [I]girl[/I ] here.
I talked to her by the Runcible Spoon. She said she had just done well in the Green Mtn race in VT, and I remember telling myself 'no wonder she shelled me on that climb'.

Isn't this the person who said, in an interview, that she does this as a fun hobby?
If I were competing against her, this statement would piss me off more than someone telling me that I will never be fast.
At least she seems cool.

out walking the earth
translation: I let her know that my brakes were rubbing when she dropped me while looking at her boobs.

She was a really nice girl, I'm happy to see she's having so much success. Very cool.

She's a tough little climber, she could drop half the guys here on a hill.

Wow that's a pretty quick rise up the ranks, best of luck to her. It's interesting to hear her say that she prepared by riding around CP, the 9W route and a trainer since it's what so many people do though I'm sure the intensity of her rides aren't probably matched to easily by most of us.

Forget the training. Lots of people train hard. When you go from Cat 4 to top pro in a year you have genetics on your side. Good for her, she really was a very sweet, friendly, low key, nice young woman, no airs or attitude whatsoever. Nicest girl you'll ever meet. And pretty and smart. Nothing wrong with all that.
One of the cool people you meet cycling. Everybody here would like her immediately. Her cycling chops were impressive, her lovely personality more so. I recognized her in the picture and remembered her right away.
Think the ultimate polar opposite of me in every way and you get the picture.

Read it a few weeks ago and was equally as shocked by her immediate success and casual approach / attitude.

Typically I hate people with that much talent, but she was far too nice. I liked her. And this was after she had dropped me.

You know, I saw the subject and I thought this was another one of those threads.
