We're so proud of Erica, who did her first-ever MTB ride at the Roll Into Racing clinic on Jan 21, and her first MTB race on Jan 28!
What an incredible journey in one week!
Erica rented a hardtail bike for the series so she didn't need to invest in equipment up front. She's looking forward to Soaring Eagle on Feb 11, and we know she'll finish with a smile on her face again.
