About Holly

Holly is a cat 2 road racer who joined LGBRC in 2007.

When asked how she got into cycling, she replies, "I used to cycle as a kid, for transportation, to go see my horse.  I then picked it back up a few years ago, thanks to a friend who gave me her old hybrid bike.  She was on a race team, and I helped the team with things and thought, "I want to race.  This looks fun!".  And, well, 4 years later, here I am, still racing, but mostly, still having fun! "  

What does Holly consider her greatest cycling achievement? "Starting to race at the (race) age of 40, and subsequently being able to upgrade to a cat 2.  Given the deep talent pool of female racers in Northern CA, that's a pretty significant accomplishment." 2nd in line is surviving the Mt. Hood Cycling classic in 2006, whilst racing with a concussion."

She adds, "I have the greatest dog, Bette Davis.  She loves to wear the team's jersey and proudly represents. I work as a QA engineer for one of the LGBRC's sponsors, Postini.  Saving the world from spam, one email at a time... "

"My cycling goal this year is to get some really good results for the team, and to continue to improve as a racer on the road, track and mountain bike!"
