" I thank both Dave lambert and Dave Mumford from the bottom of my heart for allowing me the opportunity, believing in the entire class and myself, and all their encouragement throughout this process. Both of them will be constantly in my head saying "Turn your head, turn your handlebars" (Dave Mumford) and "Smooootthhh on the clutch and brakes!" (Dave Lambert) as I'm encouraged to keep on learning to enjoy the ride safely as my skills grow."
With gratitude and respect: Marcia Zilliacus
