This year, we stuck together for our Duo Mixed attempt at a Stars and Stripes Jersey. We knew it was…

I had been excited about 24 hour Nationals for months. Ever since I made the commitment to race back in the late Spring all of my riding had been with the aim to go as fast as I could around and round the 13 mile lap in Palmer Park.
