Age:
59
Married:
To Mikie
Home: Prattville, Alabama
Occupation: Keeping Mike out of trouble is her full time job, but her
grandkids (5) call her "Super Nena!"
Favorite Quote: "Being happy is a personal responsibility."
Heard saying to a motel desk clerk:
"Do you want to talk to the man
in charge, or the woman who knows what's going on?"
Experience: Barbara began supporting bicycle tours so she could see
Mike in the summer time. After he returned from his third summer on the
road while she stayed home, she told him if he went again, he had to take
her or stay home himself. She has been a wonderful addition to the ABB
staff as she comes to us with 10 years experience supporting and developing
bike tours. Her basic duties include taking care of the luggage, meals,
motels, and general support of the riders (but mostly, as said before, she
spends the majority of her time keeping Mike in check). You'll see her smiling
face at the SAG stops and while preparing lunches on the road.
She spends most of her time, when away from bicycle tours, being the
perfect mother to her two daughters (Krystal 37 and Niki 34) and grandma
to her 4 grandkids Michael (12), Noah (9), Annaleise (6), and Rebekah Joy (4)
from our oldest daughter; and our newest addition from our youngest
daughter,
Claudia Juliet (CJ) born 31 July '09.
Barb also enjoys reading, working in the yard,
travel, movies, and her grandkids (how does she find time to keep Mike out of trouble).
