Intro
2012 brought a new member to the GEC family…Fat Betty. In the words of Moto Moto on Madagascar,
“She’s sexy, she’s huge.” Betty was born
an Air Force Outdoor Recreation van and graduated into service with GEC in Feb
2012. She likes short drives to the U of
Arizona Pool, svelte bikes on the roof, and waiting patiently outside of Jamba
Juice.
Fat Betty can be seen hauling camp athletes to the pool or
run locations, filling (and I mean filling) a parking lot space at races and
events, on the roads in Tucson and the rest of Arizona here and there or parked
at the Tucson Endurance Performance Center.
