Mary Rides 200 Miles in 12hr Bike Race

On July 19, 2014, my father and I rode a 12-hour bike race; and we rode 200 miles. I won my age category and was second in women overall.

Homeschooling gave me a flexible schedule which allowed me to train. Also, homeschooling gave me the perseverance I needed to do the 12-hour ride.

The photo was taken at: Mahomet, Illinois. My father is the other person in the picture.
