Girl interupted

RACHEL STEELE.. If your not a huge cross fan or from the toledo area she is probably not on your radar, she's quiet, cute, and funny, and likes to live semi fast, just like her riding, she showed alot of promise here in our scene with a number of great rides last season at the Tailwind Cross series, she is something our scene doesnt have enough of, women racing and treating the men, she would often start with the competitve masters field just because she was beatin up on the women elite race so bad, in the process she made a number of 35+ men look twice as she rode through the field. With a bit more fine tuning she could do the same thing on road and as well National cross races, heres a quick look inside the one formerly known as part of the girls interupted. from now we call her just STEELE
