Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Jake Gomez

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”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman

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”

Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power

I was excited for my first MTB race ever. We pulled up to the event, and it was like all my tiredness from waking up at 5 am went away. There were tents everywhere with music playing, hundreds of people on bikes, and the cold wind blowing on me. I had put my bike inContinue reading “Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power”

Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Violet Reed

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”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Cate Flowers

First of all they really should not put the girls in the back where we have to pass almost the whole field to compete with the guys☹️ Sooo my race was a lot more tiring then I expected and a loooooot longer😂😂 I’m used to cross country races which are around 25 minutes max soContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Cate Flowers”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Lucas Nacamuli

As I pulled in to For Ord, I had a stomach ache due to stress and the croissant I had eaten. I was felling well rested (I had spent the night at my cousin’s house in Santa Cruz). I had woken up at 6am instead of 5am, so I was ready to go. I adjustedContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Lucas Nacamuli”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad

We arrived to the race in freezing temperatures. The organizers wouldn’t accept the form that I had filled out at home, but my hands were so cold that I could barely even sign my name on the new form they gave us. My bike was on a different car, which hadn’t arrived yet, so IContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Violet Reed

I slept most of the way to Fort Ord so when we got to the race parking I was still half asleep. It was about 38 degrees if I remember correctly, so it was really cold. I warmed up for about 20 minutes before the race and then pulled up to the starting line. IContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Violet Reed”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman

I was very anxious and intimidated by the CCCX race. It was my first race and I was not feeling prepared to race against such fast people. I began to feel better after warming up, but the thought never left my mind. Am I good enough? After we all lined up at the start, eachContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Doug Diego

I’ll go first this year and kick off the riders stories, as the coaches only get to do the practice races. I arrived at Fort Ord to see many riders with their fresh race plates riding excitedly around. For close to half the team this was their first race ever. It was not my firstContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Doug Diego”
