I was enthused to find Jacquie Phelan on the web. She has been a pioneer of mountainbike riding and alternative lifestyle. She has brought legions of women -and even some men;-)- to the sport, and lives a very selfmade-life. Her man is Charlie Cunningham, another pioneer of the sport, another stinkin´hippie*ggg*, frame builder, allround genius and so forth. Jacquie is head and heart of the WOMBATS (Women on mountainbikes and tea association), has many great takes on life and I daresay is a wise woman... I guess we all would be roadies with knobby tires if not for people like her, bringing spirit and humour and selfmadeness to the sport.

to get there, and enjoy!
