Cross-Blog Fit and Filthy writes in an Interview with Karen Brems:

"Across Northern California, rainbow-stripes graced many an event during last season’s cyclocross racing, such is the strength and depth of racers from the region. One rider to sport a Masters World Champion jersey was Karen Brems (Team Rambuski Law). A college gymnast and former Directeur Sportif at Webcor, Brems became the 1994 Time Trial World Champion at the inaugural Women’s event in Italy.

Brems was also an olympian at the 2000 Sydney games and has won two consecutive 50+ Masters World Championships (2012, 2013) and a Master 50-54 National Championship at Verona, Wisconsin (2013).

A search on the interwebs may take one to the Wiki site for Karen Kurreck. There Brems is described as “a retired female racing cyclist from the United States”. Clearly not the case, the TRL racer is a superb and oft-winning member of the regional cyclocross community."
