This week we checkout Suzie Livingston’s 2015 Specialized Crux.  Suzie is a consistent top ten finisher in the Senior Women’s Open category racing for the Fort Follies.   She had an especially impressive 3rd place result at Cross of the North #3. She’s also been known to mix it up with the guys in the Single Speed races. When Suzie isn’t riding, she’s convincing others that they should be as the manager at Lee’s North.

That was a tough year for cyclists who were used to a mid-ride coffee break while doing the Dairy Loop. Lori and Robert Graves, the owners of Morning Fresh, managed to fill the void left by the Bean and then some. Howling Cow offers a comfortable patio with views of the foothills, great coffee, Ummbers IceCream, Noosa Yoghurt, baked goods, and other…
