Yesterday was the Intermountain Cup opener Red Rock Rampage in St George. We had record field sizes in both men and women. Our sport seems to be healthier than ever. Weather was perfect, I drilled it hard and fast for 1:25 (so short!!). Good enough to stand in my favorite spot on the podium :-) […]

2010 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo
We won and had a supa time. Big smiles on the top of the podium :-) Just the “we” was not the “we” originally planned. Dave came down with a flu bug on Tuesday, got worse on Wed and on Thurs. The other half of the “we” was Tucson local Scott Morris who mobilized on […]
CTR finisher
A moniker I’ll claim with pride, it did not come easy. Not even remotely. The challenges were many. Sometimes curveballs from the route, sometimes from my gear, constantly from the altitude…but most often from within. On Georgia pass I learned I wouldn’t be racing this one. At treeline I only wanted to lay down and sleep. […]
Kaibab Adventure!
KMC is a course of contrasts. Lots of singletrack. Wide open desert country, Vermillion cliff backdrops. Miles and miles of alpine deep forests. A recovering burn area. Grand Canyon views. And, this year: an alternate option to go 200 miles instead of the tried and true 130 option. Which do you think we chose? Right…it’s […]

Everything about it was so new, so foreign, so promising, so freightening…I was green to multi-day self-supported racing (still am, really). Having that first one in the books removed much of the unknown about the event this time. By far, Grand Loop […]
Mesa Verde repeat
The world needs more 12 hour races. It’s got to be my favorite distance/duration. The great folks over in Cortez, CO are doing their part to make the world a better place by hosting the annual 12 Hours of Mesa Verde. Last year I had a pretty good time at this event and just knew LW […]
Whiskey 50 Race Report
That was a really fun weekend. Dave and I raced Whiskey 50 on Saturday and rode the Prescott Monstercross on Sunday. Dave spent most of Saturday chasing me and I spent all of Sunday chasing him…I was kinda blown on Sunday. On Saturday I raced geared women and Dave raced SS. We all started in […]
2009 Cholla Challenge Race Report
Fun day! Wes – 1st, Emma – 4th and me – 1st :-) We all came home with ribbons. MtbRace News report here. They updated the course this year with extra single-track. It’s now a blast whereas before it was ho-hum. The day before rain storm put the course in race perfect shape. It was fast and […]
