Mountain Biking in the USA
Hello,
Greetings from a campground on the edge of Rothrock State Forest, Pennsylvania!
It has been a busy past few months for Mike and I as we have attended some truly fantastic MTB cycling events in various corners of the continent…
From Pan American Championships in Brazil ...
 |
| Mike flying over the rocks |
To the Sea Otter Classic in California ...
 |
| Going for the hole shot in the Short Track |
 |
| Super fun time helping out at a women's bike skills clinic |
A road trip to race the Whiskey Off Road in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona...
 |
| Overhauling the camp stove... before a nice cup of Jim's Organic Coffee. |
 |
| Getting the job done, with a smile. |
 |
| Prescott, AZ has some amazing trails! |
and now back to the East Coast for more excitement and racing!
 |
| About to drop Wild Cat Trail, near Tussy Mnt.... |
It has been great to see how the Tribe of Bike continues to flourish in such a positive way! The fun, connection, and health, that the simple act of getting out on a mountain bike can bring, is constantly inspiring many, and Mike and I are glad to be a part, living this lifestyle!
SO tomorrow is the beginning of an epic week. Mike and I are just getting ready to compete in a 7 day off road stage race - The Stan's NoTubes Trans-Sylvania Epic!!! We will be racing and riding for hundreds of miles on trails and gravel roads, through densely lush and rocky forests surrounding State College, PA… We are both looking forward to the challenge as we put our bodies, minds and equipment to the test!
Mike has been busy dialing the bikes all week to be ready for the sharp rocks and super rugged terrain. In looking to get the most out of our bikes for trail performance we are set up with seat droppers and oversized sealant compatible KENDA tires… which may add some weight to the bike, but more importantly, will make a big difference in trail performance and comfort for the long haul … which is what this race is all about!
 |
| Rarin' to go! |
Best of luck to all of you in your summer adventures!
:-)
Mary and Mike
Team KENDA/Stan's NoTubes
Stay tune for updates, results, photos of the week, including the "Enduro" and "East Coast Rocks" segments…
There will be coverage of the TSE available on a number of media outlets: Cyclingnews.com, DirtRagMag.com, PinkBike.com and on TSEpic.com as well as our own Face Book updates…
The base camp of this stage race will not move as it often does in multi day events - we are glad to be stationed in one location for the 7 days…home sweet home for the week!
