Bio: I am Crash Carrie, an ex gymnast, ex slalom course water skier, and aerobic queen from long ago. I can’t get rid of my desire to participate in wild fun sports. Family = husband Larry, no kids, one rescued racing Greyhound, Indy. My husband introduced me to the word of mountain bike riding and I totally dig it. He has just given me the Stump Jumper so I can maybe keep up with him on the trails, maybe. I joined Trail Angels in the spring 06, and have learned many new skills with the TA’s, like chatting while dodging rocks, stumps and roots, and wearing fun apparel on the trails. I look forward to many more rides with the gals in the future. And maybe even an epic trip somewhere with the Angel enduro camping gals! If my elbows hold up from past activity abuse, I think Debi and I keep the Orthopedic Doctor’s employed !!
