When I got out of the car for the pre ride I expected the course to absolutely be ripped to shreds, It was sorta raining and I really didn’t feel like getting muddy. But alas it was inevitable. I pre-rode with Aiden and Chris, we all noticed the distinct lack of climbing as well asContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Diego Andrade”

I was very excited for this race in the days leading up. I have some very fond memories of last year’s league races and I was excited to race with my old competitors. I wasn’t too nervous because I didn’t know really what to expect. I did however have some wicked poison oak from theContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Finn Kaste”

I was a little anxious for my first race, but my goals were to finish and beat 2 people soooo, I didn’t feel a lot of pressure. I went to the general lineup area and was in the last line with Miya and Linda and only about 20 sophomore girls.😂😂 I was getting a littleContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Cate Flowers”

I woke up on Sunday ready to race. The preride had been super fun and I was ready to do 3 fast laps.

When my alarm went off at 6:27 am I was ready to go. I quickly got out of bed and changed. Odin, Jacobo and I went down stairs and had the breakfast of champions, a chocolate muffin and sausages. Then I grabbed my stuff and loaded my bike on my car. Before I knew itContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Lucas Nacamuli”

When we got to the race on Saturday afternoon, I was so scared since I knew it was going to be very muddy. I like when the trails are a little bit muddy but not to the point where I’m drenched. After the pre ride I was so hyped since I had ended up havingContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Jake Gomez”

I was not really anxious to race. Due to the trail making it very hard to pass people, I had already played the race out on my head multiple times. I thought I would start in general, since I did not have a call-up, and get to at most 15th place during the start ofContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”

I had a rough start in the morning and almost showed up late to the high school but the car ride there was fine. Getting out of the car it was warm(60 degrees) which was odd because I’m used to it being 30 degrees. Getting warmed up was normal until I saw, Rowan an oldContinue reading “Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Violet Reed”
