THIS LITTLE LADY

SHE RIDES A 1200CC DUCATI SUPER BIKE, HER COACHING TREE SPAWNED ALDON BAKER, her athletes have won countless State and National titles, plus she has a Masters degree in kinesiology.

She's tiny.

She's full of life.

And everybody, completely underestimates her.

Because she's a girl?  

I dunno.

What I do know is that if you ever get a bike fit from her it will change your life, forever.  Especially if you've had a bike fit from someone else.  It will be so radically different you won't know how to appreciate it... until you go for you next ride.

You're faster.

You're comfortable.

You feel better than you've ever felt.

She's been my fitter, coach and friend for over 20 years.  She coached Trevor.  She helped Shelby recover from a dance injury.  And Saturday she's going to help Shane rebuild his knees so he can run again.

Eileen is family, and I truly love her and her wonderful husband Bill and their superstar race dog Mackenzie.

I guess I'm just grateful she's part of our lives.  I can't imagine bike riding without her... and we've never even ridden together. 

These are the friendships that make our cycling family beautiful.
