Personal Notes:
Hi, I'm Jo! I'm new to the team this year and I'm really looking forward to racing with Team Kenda! Relatively new to the cycling scene, I first got interested after doing several Xterra Triathlons and began racing only two years ago when I joined the Lees-McRae College Cycling Team. Besides road racing, I enjoy mountain bike racing and cyclocross. Before cycling, I cheered competitively for my high school and an all-star cheer squad where my teams won several national championships (think, "Bring It On" style) broadcasted on ESPN. Besides racing, I enjoy running, fishing, blueberry picking, chocolate eating, painting, knitting, camping, and dancing.
