Yeah! Amanda!
Hello... Friday! Time again to announce the Yeah!Cookie Rider of the Week.
Congratulations to Amanda McNabb of Team Group Health!
Amanda: racer, cycling advocate, and veterinarian. This kick-ass woman *loves* cyclocross!!!
Whether on or off the bike, Amanda goes out of her way to connect with and support the CX community. According to her Team Group Health teammates, βshe seems to know everything about everyone on the teamβ and helps inspire and organize the dirt team outreach for TGH.
Amanda has raced in the U.S. National CX Championships several times and competed at the UCI Master World CX Championships in Kentucky in 2012 and 2013. Additionally, Amanda has raced in multiple U.S. National Road Cycling championship events with Team Group Health.
Amanda is one of the founding board members of WAWCX. In fact, she was the first to volunteer and was a key part of organizing the Expo at the 2013 WAWCX CX Festival and Women Celebration Race. She is so dedicated to CX that she will work an all-night shift as an emergency medicine veterinarian, race, spectate cross during the day and then return to work *another* all-night shift.
When not on her bike or working, Amanda volunteers her time and expertise around the world to help communities and animals in need.
Congratulations, Amanda! Head over to the Yeah! Cookie booth at the races to claim your delicious prize!
