It was an adventure and our first trip across the country with Oscor. Somehow in a two day time frame I cleaned up from a muddy CX Nationals, packed up my life, loaded the car, and headed to the Southwest. This year due to weather we took a different route than normal. I-80 west to Denver - south on 25 - west on I-10. The first night we made it to Walnut, IA and found a Super 8. Not bad....

A day later we were loading up again to Fountain Hills for the first MBAA race. Andrea was excited to rip some trails and she finished 3rd in the Womens Open race. On the way home I had finally had enough and succumbed to getting sick. |

It took about a week of laying low before I was feeling back to normal. Luckily just in time for an ass kicking 6 hour ride on the AZ Trail on my new Fuel EX 9. The new bike is so awesome. Fat tires, big suspension, and the new coolest feature in my opinion is the dropper seat post! I'm so glad I picked up this bike to rip up some trails out here and save a little wear on tear on the race bike.

The 6 hour ride put me out of commission for a few days. It took a lot of birthday pizza & ice cream cake a few days later to finally recover!
