High School Race #2, Leadville

Cassie’s favorite race was great once again! Cassie placed 5th with her teammate in 2nd for the junior varsity girls. Even while being sick and cut off in the last 100 feet of the race, she pulled through with a smile!

Big Mountain Enduro, Winter Park

So much fun this weekend at the Big Mountain Enduro. Cassie’s first one! The first day was going great until stage three, where THREE flats resulted in Cassie walking down the whole run, although it wasn’t really a good run for anyone. However, the next day went much better with a win for Cassie on stage six and she placed 4th overall! Thanks so much to all the event sponsors!

First High school race, Frisco

Good first race although Cassie was not in the best shape. Although placing 8th in her first junior varsity race wasn’t so bad. Next race will go better!

Eagle, Co

Had a great week camping and coaching in Eagle with a great group of SMBA riders! We endured some fun rides and enjoyed some great  food and many meteor showers.

Awesome weekend brushing shoulders and meeting with some of the greatest mountain bikers in history and riding bikes non stop. Cassie placed first in the pump track challenge and second in her first downhill race! Trestle provides much fun for bikers all around once again.

Beti Bike Bash

The Beti Bike Bash this year was great fun as always for the SMBA girls. Rough race in sport but the glitter and smiles were worth it and a fun course as well. Not to mention the playground had some crazy slides and the campsite had a huge jumping pillow!
