About Jacquie! Jacquie Phelan has a B.A. from Middlebury
College, which has nothing to do with mountain bikes. She began
riding a bike at the late age of 9, and has been "kind of old for
stuff like that" ever since. She entered and won her first race
at age 25. Along with a handful of Marin County cyclists she
founded NORBA in 1982, then won three national championships.
Unbeaten from 1981-1986, she has more wins than any other racer
in the sport. Older than ever, Phelan presides as the "Wombat
Dowager" in the Women's Mountain Bike and Tea Society (WOMBATS).
She hates driving, and plans never to hang up the '83 vintage
aluminum bike built by her husband Charlie Cunningham (WTB).
Jacquie founded WOMBATS to offer women a gentle introduction to
her favorite sport. She has organized and taught hundreds of
women's mountain biking workshops. When not attempting to improve
her banjo picking skill, Jacquie writes for various magazines and
publications, and continues to promote women's mountain biking
all over the world.
Time to give the 411!

Disclosure: I understand that by its nature mountain biking is
an inherently dangerous sport. Should anything happen during the
course of the clinic, I will not hold the Promoter, Sponsors,
Houston Parks Dept. or Ms. Phelan responsible. I fully release
all involved parties from any liability that might be
interpreted.
