I’ve been in Italy for the last week riding in the last of the World Cup series in Val Di Sole. My first world cup round, so exciting! It's been such an awesome week, had beautiful sunny weather and the track is real fun to ride. On Wednesday we walked the track, it is so different from the tracks back home. It's very gnarly and rough with loads of rocks, roots and steep chutes a very technical track to ride. Had practice day on Thursday, it was quite a challenge to ride but by the end of the day I had the track sorted. Qualifying was on Friday afternoon; I did a few runs in the morning to get comfortable with the track again then did my qualifying run. I didn't manage to get through to the top 20 women, but I managed to put together a good run on the roughest track of the world cup series so I was pretty happy with that. I really enjoyed riding a different track, it was pretty rough but it was so much fun to ride. Moday, I’m off to Morzine in France to do some riding/training in preparation for the World Champs.
