 As a lifelong enthusiast, and retired military of 21 years who’s career evolved around of all things wheeled, I've found my passion in cycling over the last 8 years.  Embracing the thrill of the ride, I'm committed to organizing fun and spirited outings on scenic routes, cherishing the camaraderie with friends old and new. With a special focus on women's riding and safety awareness.  I'm dedicated to expanding our club's membership, welcoming those seeking similar exhilarating opportunities on two wheels. “Upon my first association with the Major Taylor South Carolina Cycling Club, I was warmly welcomed and have created friendships that have continued to the present day.  I have been to more interesting, exciting and adrenaline filled places to ride than I ever thought possible, and have met people from all walks of life who share our common bond.  Presiding as Vice President is my way of giving back for all the great memories and of more to come.” In return I’m promoting and ensuring MTSCCC Objectives as such:     •    Conduct weekly club group rides from April through mid-October (longer weather permitting)     •    Establish a footprint in the community through charitable services and activism     •    Teach and practice group riding safety and etiquette for all participants     •    Provide members with resources for bicycles, maintenance, performance, and trends in technology     •    Create outreach activities to promote bicycle awareness “SMASH PETALS, THINK SAFETY”
