Part 1 of Maria Parker’s story.
I assume there is more to follow.
When you get a chance to read it, let me know if you find it as fascinating as I did!

I followed the race live through BROL and the RAAM sites and Maria's ride was inspirational. Maria is an exceptional athlete in the same camp as John Schittler and Dennis Johnson. I personally think it dramatically shows that it is "not about the bike" and in the case of RAAM, probably not about the drugs either. It's all about having drive, stamina and determination.
