Audrey Anderson has been the driving force behind this whole trip. Without her, we wouldn't have been able to experience half the stuff that we did. She is an inspiration to us all and words can't express how thankful we are to have had her with us o the trip.
love you Audrey!!

Wished to ackowledge the Nicole Reinhart Foundation , and the hard work it is doing for cyclist by donating all theirwinnings today back to the Foundation. Miffy Galloway when speaking with Mr Michael Reinhart turned to her fellow Team Budget teammates and asked if they did not mind donating their winnings back to the foundation. In quick agreement, the girls unconditionally handed back their prize money to Mr Michael Reinhart saying, todays win for the women was not about the prize money but the satisfaction of racing and going beyond your limits.
I have worked closely with these young women for the past 4 weeks, and the maturity they have displayed has been overwhelming. They came over her to experience international racing and leave here with memories of more than just racing. They will leave with memories of friendship from the local Lehigh Valley Cyclists, they will leave with memories of laughter at Betty’s in Kutztown for Lunch, they will leave the USA with memories of their final night at the Lehigh Valley Velodrome where tears and heartache were overwhelming them....
These young women, have a place in my heart not because of their sucess, but because of the smile they bring to my face.
To Brodie on Friday night when you took time out of the racing
to buy your 2 team mates a simple tee shirt, and take it around to the international racers to write words of encouragement to cheer Lara and Mickey up …as their coach of 4 years was not around...was inspirational.
To Miffy when you finished the Fitchburg tour, and received your medal...in front of the fountain...and said you need to cut the 2nd place GC medal into 4 peices for each of your team mates was inspirational.
To lara your ride at Fitchburg on the final day, to attack and try to help your team mate try to gain some 12 seconds she needed was inspirational. Your whole 4 weeks of racing has been inspirational as you have raced above your expectations of yourself as a rider.
To Michaela your ride on Friday night Speed night in the Scratch Race...with your team mates riding with you...was inspirational. To see you all lift after a hard week, and help attack as they blocked and counter attacked for you could go on to get a 2nd place in the Scratch race after such a shakey start to the night was inspirational…
So to you young women, don’t change, and maybe in being who you are you will honour the memory of Nicole Reinhart
