I ride bikes for fun.
I am married to Scott Bechtel (an awesome downhill and cross country rider…former owner of “Downhill Zone, WA”. We have two boys ages 1 (Jake) and 3 (Teddy). We moved to VA 3 years ago and are trying to integrate our mountain biking lifestyle with our busy family life. Scott and I have been mountain bikers since the late 80’s.
Training for a Triathalon (kayak, mountain bike, run)
I started riding about 5 years ago. I enjoy the social rides a lot, but I am now also interested in racing, because I am pretty competitive and I know I have a lot of work ahead of me. I also enjoy other sports like soccer, tennis, golf, swimming, racquetball, running, skateboarding, skiing (trying snowboarding this year), yeah so generally any sport that gets me moving and meeting people. I also like doing arts & crap stuff like crocheting, knitting, painting (oil, watercolor, and acrylic), and gardening. I hate cleaning my house and washing dishes!! (yeah I ain’t wife material) I always look forward to the next mountain biking event, except for the O’hill Meltdown, which I know I will have to do at least once in my lifetime…
