Hope is silver at Show Me

Thursday, August 18, 2005

Jennifer Hope, 22, of Nevada took home the silver medal on Saturday, Aug. 6, just outside of Columbia in the annual Show Me State Games. Hope completed the 25-mile loop with a time of 56 minutes, 48 seconds. Hope was the second youngest female competing with women that have ridden for more than 30 years. This was the first Games appearance for Hope. Training for Hope began in early May and will continue throughout the fall or until snowfall comes. Hope will mostly participate in benefit rides this fall. Hope started riding after her freshman year of college, where she continued on to ride coast-to-coast across the United States twice -- once in 2002 and once in 2004. Hope has ridden across 30 states and in parts of Canada. She has logged more than 15,000 miles in only 3-1/2 years. For more info visit www.smsg.org.
