Claire's Updates: Champery World Cup
By: claire_buchar

The Champery World Cup track was the most challenging track I've raced on so far. It was very steep, very technical and very 'full on' top to bottom. I loved it. I have to admit, when I was walking the track before practice, I did sometimes think, "what the hell were they thinking!" It was that gnarly. I rode good throughout practice, took a couple crashes here and there, it was pretty much unavoidable but I felt pretty confident. People were dropping like flies out there! You had to be there to understand. The weather was summer in the beautiful Swiss Alps but each afternoon the threat of thunder showers would set in. By Saturday, it began to rain. Hard. The already challenging track got even harder to ride. It was the 'who could stay on their bike game' for the girls. Unfortunately, I was one of many that couldn't hold it together for the run that counted. I crashed and it was timely. I finished 13th and was a bit dissapointed in myself. But I learned a lot about my riding out there and am stoked about that. Props to the girls who ripped it and Sam Hill for basically blowing everyone away. Thanks for your support everyone. Off to ride in more mud!
