Sean Benward (East Bay, United States) Mountain Biking in Marin

Celia, It was you who inspired me four or five years ago to race. It was your positive words of encouragement that gave me the confidence and motivated me to take the first step, sign up and race. I have never looked back and I keep looking forward to the next race like a kid waiting to open their Christmas presents on Christmas morning, I am healthier and much more passionate about cycling as a result. For this, I owe you a BIG THANKS. It goes to show you how valuable a kind supporting word can be. I am honored to be part of your legacy.
