Mary Jane Reoch

In addition, Reoch won the local Tour of Somerville and Fitchburg Longsjo Classic in 1976 and 1979, respectively.

[3][5][6] At the age of 35, she rode 12 miles (19 km) on her bike to the hospital to give birth to her first daughter, Solange.

She was training a cycling student named Bill Seals at White Rock Lake in Dallas at roughly 9:15 am.

While they were cycling, a pickup truck went into their lane, striking Reoch head-on and throwing her 95 feet (29 m) into the lake, killing her.

[4][5] Fuji Bikes established the annual Miji Reoch Award for "the best young female rider under the age of 23", which includes a $1,000 cash prize.
