Mary was born the middle of five children. Her father ran a heating and sheet metal business, and her mom ran the household. The children went to Catholic schools, and family recreation consisted of camping trips and music. Mary played soccer, took ballet and piano lessons and loved to sing. It wasn?t until moving to Oregon after college with her biker boyfriend that she discovered the thrill of racing.

On and off the bike, Mary is concerned for the environment. She tries to use her bike as transportation to save gas. She also buys eco friendly products and food so there can be nice places to ride for years to come.

Mary didn?t start racing until later in life after she had developed a love for the outdoors, but she has steadily made a name for herself over the last few years. In 2001, she took 9th overall in the NORBA National Championship Series and 5th overall in the Super Cup Cyclocross Series. 2002 saw impressive results with a pair of 8th place finishes in the cross-country events at Sea Otter and Big Bear, a 6th place finish in the Big Bear short track, and a 5th place finish at the Iron Horse Classic.]]> http://c0179261.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/718131_aKoq7YwYLIVmxrPqjipr_m.png http://www.cyclingdirt.org/rss/speaker/4376-Mary-McConneloug en-us Sat, 26 May 2012 15:47:17 GMT Sat, 26 May 2012 15:47:17 GMT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/636362-2012-London-Olympic-Mountain-Bike-Team-Announced-USA-Canada Wed, 23 May 2012 13:19:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/636362-2012-London-Olympic-Mountain-Bike-Team-Announced-USA-Canada http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/635293-What-The-Fck-Is-The-UCI-Thinking-The-Dirt-Ep-6 Wed, 16 May 2012 15:06:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/635293-What-The-Fck-Is-The-UCI-Thinking-The-Dirt-Ep-6 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/5199-Chris-Jones/video/519192-Aerial-Footage-SSCXWC-2011

Following an international team, Jamis Bicycles, the film documents the life of professional racers as they explore the people, food and countryside of Chile, train in the
mountains of the Patagonia region, and ultimately compete in the grueling competition known as Trans Andes Challenge.

The Trans Andes Challenge is one of the premier international mountain bike stage races, with participants
representing some 20 + countries. Two-person and solo teams compete over the course of a week and the best over-all time wins. Participants share meals and live in a roaming camp as the race progresses across 250 miles.
