  1. I think I know where this is going. I have a few clarifying questions though:
    Does she have any experience with fishing operations, specifically shrimping?
    Has she served in the Army?
    Does she have an affinity for Dr. Pepper?

  2. i dont understand the obsession. How does someone ride their bike all day, then wake up the next day wanting to do it all over again, and then for an entire year… I'm on the bike for a day and although fun, its not something i wanna do every single day

  3. With her record on Tour Divide, she made approx 177 miles a day, two weeks nonstop. .. off the road. I mean, how crazy it is? I follow her recently on Strava, she goes around the world with 180 miles per day (on a road bike though – what a cheating 😂😂😂
