In London however, they could not repeat being upset by Italians Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai. <br />

Evelyn Stevens - 96</div>
<br />
Third "catch-up" success post, is of Evelyn Stevens. Ms Stevens went from working for a New York investment firm, to competing in the Olympics for the U.S. After graduating in 2005, she went to work for Lehman Brothers. According to her <a href="http://evelynstevens.com/about/">website</a>, "She attended her first bike clinic in Central Park in the spring of
2008. With the financial industry in a state of panic, Evie calmly won
her first professional race in Union Vale, NY. A year later, she said
goodbye to New York and embarked upon a career as a professional
cyclist."<br />
<br />
She placed 24th in her first Olympics in London and is driving to compete again in 2016. <br />
<br />

Yesterday we received back a success from Paige McPherson. She sent back two beautifully signed cards, addressed to each of my boys.
