Just Curious to swim and dive with a folding bike…. Boyscout Island, Jakarta, Indonesia

Here is yours truly with my 1984 Holdsworth Special, a British sport-tourer which was my first ever sponsored bike. Originally, back in 1984, I set it up with all Campy Super Record and tubular wheels. This was my first pro-level racing bike and I rode it during my San Francisco to Los Angeles world record on April 17-18, 1984, when I was 17. A year later I became sponsored by American custom frame builder Ron Stout and so the Holdsworth became my back-up bike. After racing the Race Across America in 1987 I pretty much quit riding the Holdsworth. Recently I put it together for multi-surface, multi-terrain rides – a mix of dirt and pavement. This bike is an absolute dream for Rough Riding! As I like to say, “Any Bike, Anywhere!”

It was unforgettable. Siberia is a country one cannot forget! Enormous distances, unspoiled wilderness, drinkable water from the lake, just enough people, so that you can feel safe. People there say riding a mountain bike in winter on a 1,5 m deep ice is a fantastic experience. My husband and I wanted to try it once! Aug. 2008.

Riding along a ridgeline in Breckenridge, CO, made for a nice backdrop on a Bicycle Tour of Colorado week that included nine passes and some awesome Rocky Mountain scenery.  We rode over Royal Gorge Bridge, the world’s highest(at the time).
