Winter Park

Just got home from a sick weekend at Winter Park. If you've never been there, or at least not lately, it is definitely worth the trip. They've added numerous new trails this year and made some serious improvement to the old ones. Now with the addition of No Quarter and Rainmaker the park has some serious flow and enough features to satisfy even the most seasoned riders.

Raced the first DH of the Trestle series on Saturday with my buddy/non-homosexual boyfriend Ross Schnell. He took the win and I got 4th in the Pro/Open class. I underestimated the competition and it came back to bite me in the butt! Thought I could get 2nd (the day I beat Ross is still aways away) with a smooth run and didn't pedal nearly hard enough - way to much time seated in this one. Lesson learned, I'll be getting familiar with my spin bike this week!

Spent the remainder of the weekend shredding the trails and ran into some friends, SGIII from Secret Cyclery and Nick Simcik of Transition.
Ready to kick-ass and takes names this weekend at the big show! Come join me!

Who wants to see a Mega-style Enduro at Winter Park? Ross and I have the ear of Trestle bike park manager Bob Holme and want to see big, euro style endurance DH find a home in Colorado!
