Special thanks have to go out to:
John Ireland Applegate: My friend and teammate, without him I would probably be late to all of my races and he inspires me to do better - Even though he's got cancer and is going through kemo and radiation, he still goes out on the track and rides his heart out every time. How can you NOT be inspired by that?

Amber & Jake - my #1 fans: My sister and nephew come out to as many of my races as they can (Amber is currently 6 months pregnant). They cheer me on and encourage me no matter how I place at the line. With support like their's I can't help but race well. I look forward to teaching Jake all I know when he sheds those training wheels this summer and starts his own little racing career.
Tipp Cyclery - Tipp City, OH: Without the good folks that work there I probably wouldn't place near as well at nationals as I do, they keep my ride totally dialed in no matter how much abuse I give it on the track. www.tippcyclery.com
