Nicola M.

29 years old

From England - born in Kent but most receintly residing in London.

Quit her job as a photo editor to do something and decided to do the TransAm tour.

Riding: Raleigh -- bike name Raymond

Packing: panniers

Siblings: 1 brother, 1 sister

Pets: 2 dogs - a lab and a border collie

The picture to the right shows how wicked hard core she is -- not only is she not clipping in -- she has cages - but is not using them --- that's right, she is not strapped into her pedal at all!

Nicola goes by Nic or Nix - NEVER Nicky! She is very funny and has a quick - bubbly sense of humor. Her favorite word is brilliant - or at least she says it like it's her favorite. If you catch her late in the day - when she is tired from the ride she sometimes busts out an American accent -- which is quite amusing.

Just this morning she has offered to put me up in her castle - fill the moat - take me on a fox hunt - and let me wear her father's red coat and white wig --- that is, if I come and visit her in England. Sounds like fun -- maybe I'll take my bicycle.
