[MUTOLI]

Here are some shots from our first DH race this season.
(Individual shots...Carolyn, Dawn, and Me(Mutoli))
It was alot of fun...Dawn & I got 1st in our age groups/catagory and Carolyn 2nd in hers. That weekend injured alot of the girls there
Carolyn raced with a fractured hand! She is hard core!
One of the other girls on the team had a bad crash as well and was unable to race...

Yeah - we must have! I'm remembering several black bikes, tho... What class were you in and what were you wearing? (I'm expert 30-34 and had the same helmet/goggles/bike as above, but I think I raced in a yellow jersey most of last weekend).

I found out yesterday that I was racing w/Sunnyracegirl over on MTBR in Dual Slalom and Super D. I'm "Connie" over there. Funny we didn't realize that until afterwards reading trip reports!

 

[ridetoofast]

For me this year was all about learning new skills......

Practicing cornering techniques

Learning how to negotiate small drops

Tackling my fears and gaining confidence at N*

Oh yeah and learning to ride clipless......

cool style, dig the color coordinated fork/socks, and its great that you can laugh at yourself in the learning to ride clipless pic

 

[seamonkey]

altagirl, i raced expert 25-29, dressed in black, nondescript black astrix. my name is aubrey, i went off between joy and tasa. i think i saw you in the yellow jersey.
what an awesome race!!

Seamonkey-
You raced against my teammate Brooke (she took 3rd). Blue jersey w/ Speedy Beaver Racing in pink on it! I wish I could have made it to this race...looks like alot of fun! Next year maybe!

 

[altagirl]

Cool! I remember you and Brooke - Brooke and I stood there looking at the finish line drop stressing together for a while... So what other races are you girls going to this year? I don't think I'm going to make Schweitzer (too far to drive and not enough time between races...), but we should be at Snowmass and Brian Head, for sure.

Have you and I met before? My name is Joy Mutoli! Anyways...I don't think I am hitting any nationals this year..but hope to next year. My husband and I are hitting the BC cups instead! Possibly a few more Oregon ones too.

Sorry - I should write more clearly! I meant I remember seamonkey and Brooke. Should have responded to the two posts separately instead of mixing that together - Ooops!

Hope to meet you next year!!

[seamonkey]

yep, i raced with brooke, she's so cool!! i kept on calling her 'speedy beaver' b/c i couldn't remember her name. i love the speedy beaver thing! i hear you like morning wood!!

Holy cow!! That's great!!
"Kinda proud"??? I'd be beside myself. Good job.

 

[mcgowanc]

Thanks .. I keep meaning to do more gravity events at races .. but practice is always during the XC events... So then I am just a lil skurd

 

[mcgowanc]

Thanks!! Yeah I got a more race appropriate bike ... I love the ID, but its just a little to heavy for the races that we have around here. Waaaaaayyyy tooo much climbing

Sweet! I have been looking at a 575 and plan on upgarding for next year's racing as well. It's going to be a little heavier than my Jekyll but it's awesome on the technical trails I ride and SO stable on the steeper DH stuff that we have around here as well. I'm also hoping to go SS soon too.

I know a couple of people who have the 575 and they really like 'em. Its def a bit more plush than mine The more and more I ride my yeti the more I trust it. I was pretty nervous about the carbon at first -- but I pushed it a little more at Moab this year - and had no problems .. They seem to make a goood bike!!

Ahhh yes the SS .. I am trying to build one of those up tooo. Its one of those projects - one day I hope to finish. You still on the bike?

Sweet! Earl has the 575 and really loves it. I've ridden his a couple times, but it's too big. One of our friends has a small and I borrowed it for a couple of rides and was sold.

I am still on the bike--actually went out for a ride tonight. Taking it easy, but atleast I am still spinning.
