Thanks for the photo Joan Farres😊
Hanging out with some of my favs on our recovery day. Final race prep tomorrow then it's go time ⚡️🚴♀️ #lenzerheideworldcup @canmtbcycling @clifproteam
😍Getting to visit my teammate's hometown between races. #notbad #morschach 🇨🇭
Battled all race in good company, just not in the position I hoped for. 16th was what I had on the day, but for sure I will be racing for more next weekend in Lenzerheide. Thanks for the great support @thebajo78 @waldekski @clifproteam @orbeabicycles
It's here! The moment you've been waiting for, a chance to ride a lap with Lea Davison and I🤣. Sorry for the heavy breathing. Air is a little thin in Vallnord. https://www.redbull.com/sg-en/andorra-xco-course-preview-2017

Learning when to be patient and when to go all-in without hesitation is one of the biggest challenges of racing. Albstadt is a course that demands you bring 100% over and over again at all the right moments. I had a couple great laps before a mid race crash disrupted my rhythm and I never found forward charge mode again. Frustrating to leave Europe without the finishes I would have liked but that leaves me fired up for more World Cup racing to come.

One of my favourite photos from last weekend in Czech. Getting some last minute advice and good energy from my coach Dan Proulx. We've been a team since 2003. It's amazing to have a support team that puts as much heart and soul into your racing as you do.

Albstadt's is looking sunny and fast for the weekend. Lots of climbing, short & steep descents and more wood work. You can check it out in detail in Matt Delorme's photo preview "Old as Dirt" on PinkBike
Lap 3.9km 160m climbing
The entire track is awesome in Nove Mesto, but I especially looked forward to this section every lap. Good cheers for air and choosing in the air whether the left or right climb entrance would allow me to move up in the field

Felt awesome racing for the front for 2.5 laps, but luck was not on my side today. A twisted chain dropped me from 3rd to 36th. I fought back to 26th, took some chances passing on the rocky descent and flatted. In the end I was 21st but now head to Albstadt knowing my form is good. In over 70 World Cup races I have been lucky to have very few mechanicals thanks to great equipment and great support from my team. Sometimes you get unlucky but big thanks to the team for getting me back out there to fight for every position. Fun to be back at it! @clifproteam @mtb_nmnm @uci_mtb
A closer look at my bike of choice for the weekend.

To get you primed for Saturday here's the 2017 World Cup season recap!
https://www.redbull.tv/video/AP-1RH9YAZM52111/women-s-xco-season-recap?playlist=AP-1PWUW71HN1W11:clip
3rd for me today. I felt strong but these two women were flying! Congrats Yana and Linda. On to the World Cups!
Obertraun, Austria! Awesome little course nestled in these mountains. Lots of techy descents and steep climbs to challenge us in tomorrow's HC race. Luckily I had some Clif (Eva) and Canadian teammates (Sandra and Dre) to quickly dial in my lines and enjoy the sunshine that came out after the intense rain.
It was muddy, greasy and so much fun! BC races like the Vedder mountain Classic last weekend are the ones that get me the most fired up on riding and our ride community. BC 'marathons' are anything but average with gnarly trails and a 16 min timed descent. I was thankful a gazillion times for the dropper seat post and Camelbak I was running. I needed both a lot with almost 3 hours of intense Singletrack descending and climbing! Now time to head to Europe for some full gas racing😁

It’s not how many hours you put in, but what you put into those hours💪
Well ok, the hours count too! Off the bike I focus on core and shoulder stability as well as range of motion. prAna misty knickers and revere performance top are my favourite go to workout clothes for their comfort, light weight and breathability.
The 2017 season is getting into full swing, 8 women strong, the Clif Pro Team is ready to keep doing what we do best, riding, racing and sharing our passion for bikes!

Looking forward to the cross country race after a good battle for the podium in today's short track. Finished up 6th 📷matt delorme
People are awesome! Our national team mechanic from 2006 found me at Sea Otter with this, a custom stem cap with my Olympic Mantra on it! Thanks Jason @stemcaps #motivation
Almost time to fly 🛫

Shout out to Anthony Harris for this awesome gift he created! Love it!
Check out Mind Harvest tees on Etsy if you like it too!
Focus and fire. I didn't have it for Saturday's xc but thanks to my awesome team I found it again for Sunday's short track. Finish result was the same but the sensations much better! North American ladies are riding fast. Great to see new faces charging to the front.

Team photo camp is a wrap and its time to head to the races!
San Francisco treated us to some amazing weather, sunrise and sunset shoots, rides through redwoods, and visits with Camelbak, Giro, Oakley, PrAna, ClifBar and local middle & high school teams. So excited for 2017 with the team!
Working on our team cheer routine. I think we nailed it

Now that's a sexy new bike!

From #bustle to #spandex. Dream Jobs. Road trips are an awesome time to talk about random things like the best and worst jobs you’ve had on the way to where you are now. This was actually one I loved, being a tour guide in a living historical museum…worst telephone survey research. Yup. #stolemysoulforoneweek What were yours?
I don't put a number plate on my trail bike that often but it's always good times when I do! Jumped into stage 1 of Moab Rocks Saturday. Had some ladies making me work for the climb but was rewarded with over 40 minutes of descending, the women's overall win and a post race cruise through great Singletrack back to the start with my teammates @maghroch @leaeatsalot 📷 @gibbymtbphoto @transrockiesevents Thanks for the great event #moabrocks @clifproteam @garneau @girocycling
Had to stop and admire the view I'll be racing past this Saturday at Moab Rocks. Not sure what will be more punishing, the almost 2hr ascent to 2200m or the rough and rocky 20km descent back down!
