5 day staged Mountain Bike Race in Kamloops, BC
The premier 5-day mountain bike race is about to get under way! My race partner Brandyn Roark Grey – an xterra pro athlete out of New Mexico – arrived yesterday. We made the drive to Kamloops today and are both pretty pumped to ride some epic trails and XC terrain. Kamloops is apparently an unsung mecca of riding so I am really stoked to experience it first hand! Brandyn and I met briefly years ago back in Whistler and for 5 years now, we have stayed in touch and have looked for a race that would re-unite us to meet again and tackle something cool. When Chuck (the RD for Intermontane) invited us up, it was an offer we couldn’t refuse. I am stoked to race but also to have a bad ass female team mate with me. I’m hoping that my recent SUP trip was a good taper and that my legs feel well rested to tackle this one. Never before have I had a full week off prior to an A race. I guess we will see and hope that it plays in my favor. I put in solid workouts prior to going up the GBR – this can only be a learning experience.
The race starts Monday morning and you will be able to follow us as ride each day atwww.intermontanechallenge.com I will blog nightly and keep ya in the loop.
Check out the sweet jerseys that Stoad Printing hooked us up with! It's so hot here (41 C) so these are going to keep us venting well.
