Heather and I were down earlier this summer and she got worked on Parasite,never even made it to tape.She normally rips that place but was having "one of those days" so she just wanted to go watch me jump so we headed over to the dj's.After a few minutes of sitting and watching she started hitting the little "bumps" next to the doubles.After a few runs she was getting her flow going until,you guessed it SPLAT,down she went.I rode over to find her rolled up in a ball with her bike, half laughing half crying and all covered in dirt!! We ended up bagging the ride and went swimming in lake Washington and then BBQ time.........all better.I've been trying to get her to go with the BBTC chicks for years but just hasn't happened.........yet!!
Any particular reason it hasn't happened? Susan and those girls are the coolest, most supportive people I know. She and another girl lead weekly rides that are "girls only." Unlike some of the rides with more guys in them, on the girls' rides, they will stop and session anything someone wants to...very supportive and encouraging environment, Heather should check it out!
Timing.......she is just now finishing up her second masters degree(she's in China for another month) ,and she has been working 1/2 doz.(literally) part time jobs etc.She will have ALOT more time and regular schedule,unless she does a Phd program,that will allow her to hopefully hook up with the club ladies and rip!!
The first time I rode at Tape I ended up getting lost...that's what happens when you are trying to keep up with a group of fast guys and one tells you to cut through right there!!! However...now that I have rode out there at least 50 times neaky: ...I can say I know the trail like that back of my hand. I was going out there about 3 times a week as the trail is right by my house. I never really rode with too many people out there...sometimes I could get a few of my girls to ride with me or my husband...whom I could never keep up with. That place has defenetly made me the rider I am today for sure! :heart:
