Crankworx- Air DH


I finally got to race down my favorite trail of all time, A-line!!!  It's super fast and flowy with plenty of big jumps and huge berms.  The race was tough, its hard to go as fast as you can down that course, pedaling everywhere possible, and make sure not to completely over clear all the jumps.  But I put together a solid run, and by the end felt like my legs could barely crank out one more pedal stroke.  I ended up 13th against the fastest women in the world, so I am pretty happy with how everything went.  Also want to send out a big thanks to Brian and the guys at SRAM for helping me get the Scott Voltage all dialed in before the race.  Now time to rest for a bit and then back to racing Giant Slalom tomorrow!

XC Nationals



I just got back from Sun Valley, Idaho where they held the XC nationals. What great fun!

We got to see all the pro's race and saw their interviews afterward. Sam Shultz is from Montana...so he's my fav.

I took home a 3rd place for 45-49 and was proud to represent TOUGH GIRL/SCOTT/SRAM/DT SWISS/RUDY PROJECT/PEARL IZUMI/MT BORAH AND COLORADO!

Whistler



Finally on my annual Whistler trip!  I've been here for about a week now, and as usual Whistler stands out as my favorite place in the world!  Not only do I get to ride my favorite trails all day, but I get to see great friends, eat great food, and sample the best balsamic reduction at the farmers market.  There is always so much fun outdoor stuff to do here that by the time I even get back to the condo for dinner it's about 10pm.  I'm also putting the new Scott Voltage FR bike to the test, and it is proving to be quite the fun little bike in the park.  I have it set up as a full on DH bike with a Rock Shox Boxxer but it almost feels like my little 4 inch bike.  It's nice and light, super smooth, and so much fun to jump.  I've been hitting the bike park almost every day gearing up for Crankworx and getting my favorite trails dialed in again.  Gonna hit the Air DH race down A-line and Giant slalom later this week.  Ill keep you all posted on how it goes!
