Round 2 of the Big Mountain Enduro Series went down at Windrock bike park in Tennessee this weekend!
“Crazy rain at the beginning of the week made for pretty muddy practice days, which made learning the stages a little challenging. The sun did come out, though, and started to dry up the dirt a bit, and the racing was full on from there. The two days of racing were a blast but also brutal on the body. Day 1 was 3 stages, with two being 8+ minutes of racing on rough, steep, rocky terrain that never let up the whole way down. The arm pump got me towards the end of stage 1, and it was a battle to try and tame it the best I could for the rest of the weekend. Day 2 was another 4 stages of gnarly tracks that tested fitness and skills. I was happy I was able to keep it together, get some good stage results and make up some time. I finished the weekend 4th overall in Pro Women! I’m also super proud of the whole KHS team putting in great results! Jackson winning the semi-pro class was pretty awesome to see! Lucas is 3rd in e-bikes, and Shane has a solid 12th place in Pro men! We all had much fun, and I enjoyed learning from them at every race! Thank you to all our sponsors for supporting the team and making these race weekends happen! We wouldn’t be able to do it without all your help! I plan to put my head down and work hard these next few weeks to prepare for the 3rd round in Sunrise, Arizona”!

“Stoked to have been racing on some proper tracks this weekend. I was glad to be racing the big bike again and on some DH tracks. Saturday race day had some gnarly long tracks that were rad. Unfortunately, I had a few mechanicals throughout the day that kept me a bit further back. Sunday started to dry up, and I could charge a bit more. I was happy to have a top-ten stage and push the pace more. I’m excited to have a month at home prepping for my home race at sunrise in Arizona. I can’t wait to be racing in the dry and be battling up front again”!
