Updates of life!

Soooo I'm on the plane right now to Canada, heading to the Monte Sainte Anne World Cup..so I have down TIME to write a big ol post. Lots of thinking happens on planes.. I think… 

Spent the past 2 weeks riding in Morzine which was AWESOME. I have spent a fair bit of time there ever since I started coming overseas to compete, it is a great central place with many mountains to explore and shred down. 

Van life has been awesome so far, being the only girls on the World Cup Ciruit committing fully to the way of life has been fun!  I am pretty sad that we can't take Bumble to Canada and the USA!! Waking up and being in central Morzine ( or wherever we have been).. 1 minute walk from the supermarket, 1 minute ride to the bottom of the Gondolas, you have your shower/ bath right next to you in the refreshing river which comes down off the French Alps.. Its so simple and easy! Although, some days you do get lovely wake ups from the Gendarme… Traveling with another awesome female companion makes it even better, the state of the boys vans are fly infested and have VERY distinct odors to them..which are not on the pleasant side…delightful, Bumble is a organized, fly free, inviting HOME! GIRLS RULE. 

Victoria and I did some filming with Liam Moss a few days ago for wee edit he is putting together kindly for us…STAY TUNED. Vic has just started getting back into riding after her Broken Pelvis from Fort William, poor thing had only 1 and a half runs in to the trip. She had to make a decision whether to stay in Europe or go back to Canada where she has a working Visa. I was worried at the beginning because if she left Europe, I wouldn't have known what to do, traveling by yourself is expensive and not so fun, something I was not prepared for so soon into the trip. Thankfully, she stuck it out and she is SO HAPPY with being back on the bike experiencing a little of what Europe has to offer. She will be back euro!!

Its been great having her also as she is very good on the Mechanic side of things, she pulls her forks off weekly to give them a service… Lets just say some of the boys where put back into there place, BOOOM. They would never have the balls to come and ask her to service their forks HAHA. Its awesome. I think Downhill really needs to push that side for the girls, to actually work on their bikes and not let the boys do it for them, It is a bit of a essential for us privateers but even if you don't race, its good to know these things. People are too busy sometimes to help you or you are stuck and generally need to know how to do certain bicycle mechanical maneuvers.  I am learning a lot off Victoria, as I partially fall into that demographic.. but I'm escaping it, it feels great. Learning new things off another gal is cool,  I don't know why it is but I just have more time for listening to her and don't feel like I'm being annoying if I ask stupid questions. She gives no singular grams about how idiotic I sound. Bike maintenance is a essential if you ride a bike. DUHH

I am making a new blog,( but will still have my personal one) for myself and Victoria, to show you and tell you of our journey so far. In the past month and a half so much has happened and the amount that you see though Facebook or Instagram is not too much.. A photo from a race doesn't tell you really that much.. IF we can get a photo from a race.. Many things to learn if you are not on the circuit ! 

ANYWAY, Im tiered after only about 6 hours sleep past few days so might have a snooze. Had to drive 9 hours to Rome to get the flight out plus hectic stuff in-between! 

CHOW FOR NOW xo
