Back from another adventure........my stomach hurts from laughing
Posted by: Claire
This time the adventure was in Portugal and Spain. My Canadian bitches, Katrina Strand, Brook Baker and I spent a few days on the beachbefore we head off to the 1st World Cup in Vigo, Spain. A typical day in Portugal was like this:
-wake up after 12 hours sleep
-laugh
-pick oranges off the tree outside
-eat chocoloate musli and bananas
-laugh
-head to the beach in our transporter
-set up camp
-laugh
-eat again
-pee in the dunes
-laugh
-play in the white wash (note: surf's down dude)
-check out our tans
-laugh
-leave beach and go for gelato
-head to grocery store and buy wine for 1.49 and more food
-head back to beach for sunset and dinner and wine
-laugh
-head back to brook's bro's place for another 12 hours sleep
-last minute laughing
-goodnight
Sounds nice? Well, we deserved it after the nightmarewe went through getting our bikes over to Europe. But thats a whole other story......
After enough marinating on the beach, we hooked up with our other Canadian bitch, Danika Schroeter, and head to the race in Spain. Lots of thanks to Jeremiah and Torben at the Sram tent for letting us hang out and letting me ice my ass haha.
Before finals on Sunday, Jeremiah had us play this really amazing game. We should have known he was up to something with that mischevious smile on his face. You grab the little metal handles "really hard" and press play. This really scary horror music starts and you get really anxious because you have to press the button on your handle as soon as the music stops. Last one gets shocked. Real bad. HAHA. Cant wait to play it again. Hmmmm, may be an interesting drinking game.....
Anyway, I finished 10th in the finals. Im stoked. Cant wait for World Cup #2 in Fort William in a couple weeks. Until then Im gonna go dirt jumping and have some fun on my bikes.
I couldnt find any photos of me racing in Vigo, but heres one of me riding a mud rutin the Sea Otter Slalom and heres one of me jumpingat Jordies.
The Bike Park opens this weekend. Maybe I'll see you out there.
