"She's worked many years in bike shops and knows her way around wrenches. Her attitude is what gives her a great entre' into all the various outdoor sports that she's involved with. She's gung-ho and willing to make mistakes. She's not afraid to mix it up with the guys. At the same time she's learned that there are definitely helpful things for women to keep in mind out there in the land of dudes and machinery. " Book reviewer Jeff Potter
