The trip to Asheville, NC was one to remember. With five of our own athletes joined by some alumni, and others from across Oregon and Washington, the Northwest riders had excellent support from coaches, parents and each other. The venue was beautiful, the weather was cooperative, the mud ranged from tacky to slick and the results […]

We finally got off a second race of the week – a sprint. The thermometer said it was the warmest but it felt absolutely like the coldest day of the […]
Racing! It’s one thing to ski when it’s really really cold, and it’s totally another to race in it. Everybody got the early stages of frostbite somewhere (Kelly’s nose, Pat’s finger, my and Bella’s ears, George’s… well… let’s just say ouch), but we actually made out quite a bit better than a lot of athletes […]
