Patty met her husband, Mark Schulze, on the balcony of a theater in Encinitas, California on Valentine's Day 1982.
Two months after the couple met, they spent 2-1/2 months backpacking in Tahiti, New Zealand and Fiji.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Patty was a national downhill mountain bike champion.
Patty was among the first of six mountain bikers to ride in the first Mt. Everest Mountain Bike Rally (India, 1993).
Patty was among the first of three people to ride a mountain bike underwater on the ocean floor (Costa Rica, 1994).
"Dim lighting is a woman's best friend." - Patricia Mooney
"Love is when the happiness of another is essential to your own." - Mark Schulze
"When people show you who they are, believe them." - Maya Angelou
“Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart.” - Erma Bombeck
"Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world." - Susan B. Anthony
“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” - Virginia Woolf
Always keep learning. There is no such thing as failure, only teachable moments. In my life I have learned that if you want to live an extraordinary life, enjoying an illustrious career, you must at some point make a leap of faith.
