Name:  Anna Flowers, but I have inherited a few nicknames.  AKA, Ethel, Furby… who knows it changes quite a bit. One ride it was Flasher (but it was an accident…honest)

Age: who cares!

Location: Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.

Riding Level: This picture might make me look like Flash…but I am just a challenged...very low intermediate rider…but I enjoy riding with anyone who loves to talk, laugh and ride. 

Race Category: I race to Starbucks, the food court, and I am extra fast if you uncork a nice red wine.

Favorite Trails: Whiting, just because I am close to this park.

Bio:  I am a mother who for some crazy reason took up an adventure sport called Mountain Biking at the age of 40.  What was I thinking!  Then I came to a ride with a group called the Trail Angels….well I want you to know that it has been the greatest small group that GOD gifted me with.

I equate mountain biking to life…You have the mountain (peaks) and the valleys (downhill) and it is painful (like our problems), but once you get to the top you know why you had to go through the pain.  Then you realize the pain was necessary for you to grow.  This is about as deep as I get…maybe I should write a book.  Overall I am not a serious person and I love to laugh. 

So if you are very competitive and very serious and on a triathlon mission…do not call me for a ride. If you want to talk, laugh, ride, and you need someone to listen too you…then call me for a ride.
