Tara Llanes was badly injured on September 1st, 2007 while racing at the Jeep KOM Finals. At the present time she is paralyzed from the waist down. She has been working intensely at physical therapy and has very high hopes that she will not only walk again, but that she will ride again. Tara raced on the professional mountain bike circuit for 14 years and won a total of 4 National Championships. She made many friends while competing in both the US and the European World Cup Circuit.
