She was one among the bike stars who showed up. Not surprised Chris Carmichael was someone she did not like as he was very friendly with the women he was coaching esp. anyone like Twigg. She deserves better better then and now. Carmichael was was linked to Lance Armstrong but weaseled his way out of indictment with, some said, cash to to right people.

It isn't what you know but who you know that gets you the job. The FBI knows that and has systematically destroyed thousands of good people's lives deliberately (I have a degree in Psychology and most of us ain't Freud worshipers).<br />All of you can help by stop voting for trash talking politicians that won't help people like Rebecca get going. All of us know who I am referring to. No matter what anybody thinks these people who have been marginalized cannot do it alone! I will be thinking of things to say and do at the follow-up that BikeRetroGrouch has kindly provided. Like I said, this nation seems to be going the wrong way express and we need to turn it around one person at a time but also creating a culture that says trashing people's lives is the wrong thing to do. Oh, the FBI should just be closed down. They are going the wrong way as well.Henry Hertz Hobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814275987805266621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-27144052331698166482019-09-27T06:43:39.113-04:002019-09-27T06:43:39.113-04:00Something is terribly wrong with this country that...Something is terribly wrong with this country that this lady is treated so shabbily.

And more frequently today they're also getting equal pay-outs. It's awesome racing to watch and it has a bunch of charismatic stars. I like to watch the best action and nowadays the women's events often have it! For sure most fans are closely tuned into both main events.

One Friday night after racing we went to 7-11 to get slurpies after the racing. She sat on the hood of my car and I got to exchange a few words. Great day! 30 years later I still think fondly on that lucky evening.
