Jeannie Longo turns 50
Jeannie Longo is celebrating her 50th anniversary today, October 31. The most successful female cyclist ever still races on a competitive level. The French cyclist achieved her first victories in the late 70s, notably taking the first of her 55 French Championship titles in 1979. More than 1,000 victories followed, including 38 world records and a total of 106 medals at the Olympic Games, the Worlds and the French Championships.

Longo finished an impressive fourth in the Olympic time trial in Beijing this August. Happy birthday, Jeannie Longo!

ABSOLUTELY!! Jeannie rocks !!

There have been many women cyclists that have not been given their fair share, Connie Carpenter, C Paraskevin and a few gals who did double duty with cycling and speed skating in the Olympics.

When the Games start in Feb. you'll see quite a few women who still cross train.

Add Sheila Young-Ochowicz to that list. Of course, she was from 30+ years ago. She won Gold, Silver and Bronze at the '76 Innsbruck Olympics.

The late 70's early 80's was great times for cycling.
