For last four years, I’ve signed up for the annual Sturdy Dirty Enduro. Its an all-women mountain bike race and its the only one I do. It feels more like a fun group ride and I look forward to it every year.

This year it sold out in 3 minutes, which is wild. Its also the 10th anniversary. It fell on the weekend after my first week back to work; I was still not feeling 100% and didn’t get a chance to pre-ride. 3 of the 4 segments were newly built trails so I race them blind. Can’t wait to ride them again. I still had so much fun even in the heat. Placed 8th in my category.
