Having not lived in the Northwest this is possibly the muddiest day I have ever ridden.
Mom and sister leave
My mom and sis left today and I miss them.
Kevin Menard
One of the special things that happened today was riding with Kevin Menard. Kevin is one of the owners of Transition Bikes, one of my sponsors. I had spun several laps with Kevin and some other riders when Kevin began to wonder who I was and how I had obtained my sled. I still don't think he realizes I am only 14.
Pump Track Race
My dad and uncle walked with me up the dual slalom and giant slalom course to the pump track. As we approached I saw Cody hanging out with the other athletes. He seemed upbeat and after talking with him the reason was obvious. Both he and Mitch had qualified in the top four and had first round byes. They were riding well.

As we watched qualifying continue it was obvious who had mastery over the track. The disparity was that great. Mitch, the defending champion, made everyone else look like pretenders.

In one of the semi's Mitch was racing Slavik who fell on an inside corner. As Mitch went by he attempted to high five with Mitch, basically a gentleman's way of conceding.

Sierra Smith looks good in jeans, sorry no picture.
Had Cody not bobbled on the final straight against Brosnan he would have advanced to the semi's.
