A sleek steed indeed. Meggie actually has an Alpha and Beta CX bike. Both are headed to Championship races in Bend, Oregon this weekend. Good luck Megan.

Hi,
One sweet bike. But even more interesting. How did Megan do at the race? And any chance for some race fotos? (Yetis just look better in the mud/dirt).

Happy new year

I hope I don't kill the board this time...

Meg got 15th. She would have finished 12th if someone (to remain nameless:) put some stans in her tubulars and didn't decide to change wheels at the last minute. She flatted with a half lap to go. She rode the flat in and switched to her "B" ARC X.

There is a video of the start...she was in the top 7 and avoided the crash at the gun. She's 412.

btw...those Avid Ultimates are a pregnant dog to change pads.

Thanks for sharing the video! She got good style comming of the bike and op the stairs...

I used to go and see cycle cross races in Denmark when Henrik Djernis was the king back in the 90'es. All the mud, the snow and the kind of studpid obstactels is good fun as a race arena.
