I don't race traditional OBRA races so I didn't know her, and would likely never have met her, but I still mourn the loss of such a young person with a life full of promise yet ahead of her.  My condolences to her family, friends, and fellow racers.

I am very sad to report that one of our new teammates of Therapeutic Associates Cycling team Elisabeth has passed away. She joined our newly formed women's team this fall and was eager to dive right into road racing. She raced a little PIR last year and did some cross racing as well. She was from Michigan and her family has flown her back for her funeral. I didn't get to know her very well other than training rides. I know she was a very strong athlete with a running background. Super sweet, kind gal. She was just 28 years old. She was going to kick ass on the bike I am certain! She will be missed dearly.
Here is the link to her funeral info:
