8.5.2005: Michael and Dede: New Parents!

Congratulations to Michael and Dede Barry, who are celebrating the birth of their first child, Liam, born the night of Tuesday, August 2!

As first reported by Neal Rogers, Congratulations to Michael and Dede Barry, who are celebrating the birth of their first child, Liam, born the night of Tuesday, August 2.

He is healthy and the birth went well, Michael reports. Dede is doing very well also. It has been a really good experience having the baby in Spain. The hospital is new and nice and the staff and docs are all very kind.

We are going home today and will stay with Liam, who is now a Spanish citizen as well, in Spain until the middle of October as I will be racing the fall Classics and he can't travel for a few more months. This experience has been more than we had ever imagined and these are truly the greatest moments of our lives!

Adds Mom / Dede / former pro cyclist: He is a big boy, 8.2 pounds. He is doing super and we are totally in awe of him. Labor was definitely the most intense effort I have ever experienced.

They might not have any hardware to show for their effort, but the American Trio can definitely rode their hearts out Sunday in the Olympic road race. Dede stayed with the lead pack until the finish and came across the line in 16th.

The big win went to Australia's Sara Carrigan who made a great move to pass Judith Arndt of Germany in the final straightaway. Kristin Armstrong of Boise, Idaho, finished eighth, marking only the third top-10 finish by an American in the race since Connie Carpenter-Phinney and Rebecca Twigg won gold and silver for the United States 20 years ago in Los Angeles when the event made its Olympic debut.

Christine Thorburn of Davenport, Iowa, was also strong all day. She was with Dede in the lead pack until the end of the nine-lap, 74-mile race. Thorburn finished 15th.
