Default Tracy Hannah takes a year off

I thought this was an interesting look into the life of a professional mountain biker. It's sad when someone at the very top of their sport can't make enough money to cover the costs for an entire season.

Yeah, who was the pro female rider that's also a school teacher? I think she was an XC rider a few years back. I know a lot of pro riders have day jobs. It seems to be the only way to make ends meet.

Probably not the same person you are talking about, but Leslie Williams races pro XC for Niner and she's a teacher.
