This weekend took Sweet Riders to Sagamiko's newly managed "Pleasure Forest". There are new trails and all of the trails have been fully worked over and ride very smoothly now. We had a private lesson with Kobayashi San who turned out to be a very good downhiller! Great riding with you Kobayashi San!!

The event itself also ran very smoothly...thanks to Nakazawa Gym, The Trail Store, B.C. Porter and all of the others who came out and worked hard for this event!! I had such a good time despite the freezing temperatures on the second day. I was just so happy to be riding my new Saphire and meet my friends. I was the only pro woman racing that day, but there were several out in the women's class, which is great to see. The race itself was so much fun... the course a challenge, short but so sweet!! My first lap time was 37 seconds, only 3 seconds off the boys so I was stoked.... and for my second run, I wanted to go faster.. but little by little I got tired by the afternoon.... being on antibiotics didn't help... arrgg but I ran the second run just 40 milliseconds later than my first time... oh well..I tried my best and this was great training and a good way to start the season......!!!!! There are more photo's here... please enjoy!!

The top 3 ladies of the Free Ride Games.... congratulations girls!!!!!!!!!!!
