I raced the Spring Thaw DH race in Ashland, Oregon last weekend and had a great time again. The trails were in great condition with no dust and the scenery was green as could be. I left from Lithia park and rode up through the neighborhood, hit the fireroad and climb up, did Catwalk, Toothpick, Caterpillar, and BTI...all very fun trails with some challenges. Here are some pics from the race.

The first 4 are a sequence of me in the rock garden that my husband took.

Cool Pics!

How did you do ? No Shin Gaurds ?

I got 1st place - there were only about 9 women overall. I went sans shin guards for that race. Coincidentally, I was wearing the helmet I won at the Ashland Super D!

Awesome! I still remember following you down San Juan 45 years ago and knew you had that DH bug in you the way you rode the descent. Congrats..
