Another year of SRC racing has come and gone. Thanks to Donny and SRC for another fabulous season of DH racing in Socal.


We had a reasonable Path Team turnout for the DH race on Sunday including: Eric, Winston, Lacey, Teague, Allison, Justin, Stephanie and myself. They used the 2005 Cal State course which was fun, fast and loose!! I had the pleasure of racing 4 other women inthe Pro Women's class and was happy to represent!

Congratulations to everyone who raced and a big thanks to all my 2007 sponsors: The Path Bike Shop, Hayes, SDG, Sun Ringle, Intense Tire Systems, Motortabs, BonkBreaker, 661, e.thirteen, ODI, Fox, Utopia and MTB Strength Training.


See you at the races in 2008.


 


After purchasing a 2003 Intense Spider, I decided to test my fitness level by racing XC for a change. It was cool day and The Path and STR was well represented. I decided to enter the Sport Women 50+ class so I could start early and race 3 laps on the 5 mile course.



I started off conserving energy, busted out the 2nd lap and ended up a little slower on the 3rd lap than I intended due to not having quite enough food to refuel. All in all it was a good day. Next year I will have to improve my time by 5 minutes to be on the top of the podium. It's my first time on the podium at this race so I finally have one of the coveted handmade trophies!
