Bardsley Family got 2 for 1 bike action by traveling to Washington State.

 

The 3 hour drive yeilded a MTB race for Momma Jen at  and sweet dirt jumps for Alex and his 3 friends in tow. (Kage, Cam and Tucker) The boyz were throwing sweet tricks and flipping inverts all day while I suffered in the heat during my Mountain Bike Race.

Jen's Team - Mt ALPHA represent!
Kristine took 1st for Womens Cat 1, Jen took 1st for Women's Cat 2 and Claire took 2nd for Women's Cat 1 race!

So excited about my first mountain bike race of the season. MT ALPHA team members Kristine, Claire, Riley and Mama Jen traveled to Spokane Washington to compete in the Beacon and Legs mountain bike race at Beacon Hill hosted by the Fat Tire Revolution Series in Washington.

 The course came out to just under 7 mile laps with lots of fast, smooth, swoopy singletrack. There was 1000′ of elevation gain per lap, but not really any long killer climbs, it was a great blend of fast flow with a little tech here and there.

Love it! I raced 2 laps for Cat 2 women, and won my division.

Claire & Kristine competed in Cat 1 Women (3laps) and took 1st and 2nd (DAMN!)
