Big Week of Riding

Great day for a ride with U.S. NoCo and freestyle skier, Simon Dumont!

This week was a big week of training. I returned from Steamboat and Aspen and jumped right back into things here in Park City. Monday was my first day back on the HS100. It was really fun to be back on the jump hill. My first session actually went better than I expected which is always a confidence booster. 

Wednesday, the team went on a 4.5 hour bike ride with an hour steady state up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was one of the longest rides I have done this summer and it was a lot of fun. We rode from Park City, over Emigration Pass to Salt Lake City, then over to Big Cottonwood Canyon, up to Brighton and over Guardsman Pass, and then back down to Park City.

Wednesday ride

We had one more jump sessions on the HS100 and then on Friday we had an all hills competition. We jumped the HS20, HS40, and HS 68. I jumped really well on the really small hills but struggled on the HS68. I had a lot of fun and hope to improve before we do it again. Unfortunately, it was too windy to jump the HS100. 

Saturday, the team went on another long 4.5 hour ride in the morning. We rode from Park City up and over Deer Valley to Heber, up the back side of Wolf Creek Ranch down into Kamas, up Browns Canyon, and back to Park City. Needless to say I am very tired after this big week of training.
