Dragon’s Back NEPG 2022

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Dragon’s Back NEPG 2022 I don’t always travel across the country… but when I do, it is to RACE MY DIRT BIKE! I made the 13.5 hour trip to Arrington Virginia to race the Drangon’s Back NEPG. The mountain views were beautiful and made the long drive well worth it. With rain in the forecast, I was unsure how conditions were going to be. Majority of the rain skipped the property so it turned out pretty PRIMO! Test 1-3 were pretty flowy and fast! These sections did not have a lot of rock either just a lot of logs. I got along pretty well and found a flow fairly quickly. Test 4 got a little rocky but nothing crazy. The transfer between test 4 and test 5 was brutally rocky. We climbed to the top of a mountain and it was a rock garden! At the top, the view was absolutely beautiful. Test 5 was my least favorite. About a mile in, I hit a tree and shot my bike down a steep hill. I lost around 5 minutes right there trying to get it out and going again. My biceps were on FIRE!! It was nuts. Finally, I got some assistance to help me get going again. I am super thankful for that. The rest of the test had a lot of boulders and it was overall more technical. At the end of the day, Dragon’s Back is still one of my all-time top favorite places to race! The views, terrain, and dirt are amazing! I finished 5th in Women’s Elite. I also want to say good job the the rest of the Bonecutter Off Road crew who raced it: Colby Gibson – AA 14th Scott Boyer – A+45 5th Jeremy Harris – B 12th   More Posts Back To Blog Page

Camp Coker GNCC 2022

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Camp Coker GNCC 2022 Last weekend, we headed back to South Carolina for round 5 of GNCC! Camp Coker has landed in one of my top favorite races so far this year, lots of sand, occasional mud hole, dirt, rough, and even had single track that reminded me of an enduro! It was RAD! Conditions were pretty primo with beautiful temperatures. We headed out Thursday night and drove all through the night and arrived around 3PM on Friday… it was a haul. We Ebiked the track Friday and it was probably the fastest I have gone on that bicycle since I have gotten it… AND I only wrecked one time! Saturday was extra windy and chilly so I hung out by the fire pit most of the day. I guess a LARGE rattlesnake was pulled out of the woods during the ATV race. Talk about sketchy! I decided to partially bike the track after the PM ATV race. At that point, it was obvious conditions were going to be rough on Sunday. The sun came out on Sunday and it was 50 degrees when I lined up! It was super nice. I did not have a great start and entered into the woods towards the end of the pack. First lap is always about surviving the chaos. I focused on some small adjustments with my riding and focusing on myself and not all the madness around me. Lap 2 and 3, I had some epic battles with a couple girls in my class. We went back and forth multiple times throughout each lap. I held the throttle open longer and hit the brakes later to seal the deal. Towards the end of lap 3, I got around both girls and never seen them again! A big improvement for me on this race was making it onto the lead lap! Kailub Russel and Zach Osborn raced in the AM and WXC had a bounty to catch them guys, so every one was on the rails! So, lead lap at this race was HUGE! I finished P9 in open women’s and 121 O/A – A step in the right direction, we will keep pushing forward! Congratulations to Steve Leivan on his first-place finish, even after getting stuck. Morgan Johnson put together a solid ride on her Beta 125 finishing 13th. Colton Pratt had a rear brake pedal mishap but still finished the race. Big thanks to the Matteson’s for getting me to the race, letting me sleep in the RV, and helping me in the pit!

Tiger Run GNCC 2022

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Tiger Run GNCC 2022 Round 4 GNCC brought us back to South Carolina clay (same location as round 1). Mid-week rain and gorgeous weekend temperatures set us up for stellar conditions. We headed out late Thursday night and arrived to race site mid-day Friday. I decided to bike part of the course on Friday. It does change a lot after the ATV’s race but I wanted to work on familiarizing myself with how GNCC race trail looks. After the 3-mile marker, it started to get super hilly. I am still trying to figure out this mountain bike thing and the struggle was real! There was literally a guy and his dog moving faster walking than I was riding/pushing my ebike. What I seen on the trail Friday; I knew it was going to be a super-fast one. Saturday, I walked a few miles during the PM ATV race. I have only watched ATV’s race a handful of times and they are absolutely insane. Two wheels, seem a lot easier to me! After the PM ATV race, I wanted to avoid those hills around 3-5 mile marker so I biked from the 7.5-11 and 1-3 miles. The track seemed to be holey and lots of square edge but the dirt conditions were great! Sunday, GO TIME! I started on the far inside and got a great jump to the first corner but did not get slowed down enough to not take it wide. A few girls got around me and a few more in the next corner. The first few miles had a decent number of field/dusty sections. It was difficult to see. After a few miles in, I got the worst stomach cramp ever and even got sick a handful of times during the race. It was brutal! I basically just rode, wouldn’t really call it a race. I finished P8. Great job to Steve Leivan on his 2nd place finish and Morgan Johnson on her 11th place. Special thanks to everyone supporting me this year!

Wild Boar GNCC 2022

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Wild Boar GNCC 2022 Those of you that know me, know that I love sand more than I love a big piece of strawberry pie after a race! So, I was absolutely stoked for the Wild Boar GNCC in Palatka, FL. Most people do not like it because the sand is deep and the track is rough. Leading up to the week before the race, I pinched a nerve and maybe tore a muscle in my lower back. First part of the week, I felt crippled. Could not walk and could not bend down at all… it was rough. I continued to stretch and kept up with stabilizing exercise and took it easy. I seem to get 1% better every day. Early Friday morning, I started my 16 hour solo trek to Florida. The drive was not terrible. I turned on some podcasts and was pretty entertained. I did not drive straight through but knocked out 12 hours of the trip. I got up early Saturday morning and finished it off. I got to the track before the AM ATV race…. And it was already hot out. Being from Missouri, it is still cold and snowing so the 90 degrees and full on sunshine was a brutal adjustment.. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sunshine and hot temperatures. I just have to get used to it first. I biked part of the track to check it out. The good news is I could ride my Ebike better in the sand than I could in the SC clay. Makes no sense but it is true. Track looked rough but nothing super terrible. I was still struggling with my back so that is why I didn’t bike the entire thing. I decided to camp in the van so I had no driving to do in the morning and got to sleep in some before getting ready. I made an awesome but easy breakfast in the van and started going through my routine. I was still stoked about racing but knew it was going to be extra challenging with my back. I got to the start line earlier than last time and got a better spot, closer to the inside. I had a decent start, front part of the pack. 4 other girls and I swapped back and forth multiple times throughout the first lap. Getting through the traffic on the first lap was a lot harder than the last lap. I was catching so many people quickly. This race was a lot tighter so passes were a bit sketchy but I had to make it happen to keep going forward. I wrecked a few times on the first lap from getting hit but nothing real crazy. I liked how the course flowed. It had some deep sand sections, not so deep sections, and some palmetto sections. It was not super technical, IMO. At the start of the 2nd lap, I could feel blisters starting to pop. Not a great feeling. It is wild, I never get blisters. People keep saying “WELCOME TO GNCC”. I felt decent on this lap up until towards the end of it when I could barely hold on from my ripped hand. At the end of my 2nd lap, it was time to get my bottle to work on refueling myself for the last lap. I usually grab it and keep moving while doing so but I came to a complete stop and killed my bike because I could not multi task with my blistered hand lol. I started to feel the achiness of my back but I knew I could keep pushing. I was getting ready to make a pass and clipped a tree and went down hard. I laid there for a bit until someone came to help me back up and get my bike up. It was a struggle to chill out and find the flow again but I just kept moving forward. The tracks started to get a lot deeper and rougher… luckily I have ridden things a lot rougher than this. It prepared me well. I finished P7 and a lot better than I did on the overall at the first round. I am still learning the craziness but feeling a lot better each time. Looking forward to Georgia this upcoming weekend! Congrats to Leivan on his 1st place finish! Broc French was able to make it to this round also, finishing 3rd in the Warrior class. Big thanks to everyone helping me at the races and helping me do what I love! Since, it is back to back weekends of racing GNCC 12+ hours away from home, I am staying the week in between the two rounds. I spent a few days soaking up more sunshine and on the beach with some great friends before heading to Georgia to get some ride time in. I am super blessed to be able to do these adventures.

Big Buck GNCC 2022

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Big Buck GNCC 2022 Race season has officially arrived! My first race of the year kicked off in Union, SC for round 1 of GNCC. My plan this year is to chase the entire series and race in the women’s class. The only GNCC I have ever been to or raced prior to this was Ironman 2021 (the mudder/river race). To me, that shouldn’t even count. Not even close to what I experienced this weekend. A little rain on Thursday made conditions for Sunday PRIMO! I really did not think the trail was that rough but some others disagreed. Saturday after the PM quad race, I broke out my Giant Liv Ebike from Sunshine Bike Shop to check out the trail. I am not the greatest on one, wrecked about 10 times, but made it around the track! Sunday, the race started at 10AM. I was kind of nervous. I have only done a few races since coming back from an 8-month long injury so lots of cobwebs to rid of. I got up to the start line 20 minutes before the race and it still was not early enough. I prefer to be on the inside and not on the outside. I made due with what I was delt. My start was in the tail end of the pack. I lined up with 20 women racers! SO RAD! The first lap, felt like I was fighting for my life. No one prepared me for that lol so I was in complete shock! I got taken out six times. I for sure lacked aggressiveness. Every time a line would meet up, I would be the one to let off and it really set the tone for my race. I did not ride up to the speed I am capable of. The second lap, I came up on a friend who just wrecked and was injured, I made sure he was good and someone was with him and then stopped to tell the family. My third lap was lots of catching riders and passing them. Nothing very exciting happened on it. The trail was not very technical at all. The hills were not super huge. The roots were not terrible. A few rocks here and there and one small log. It flowed well and the 11-mile loop went fast. I learned a lot and have a far better idea what to expect going into round 2. A few big takeaways for me were: I have to be aggressive. That’s a given in any race but I am not used to lining up in a race with 800 people in it. It doesn’t matter what class they are in; I have to keep moving forward and not let others dictate the speed I go. I need to worry about what I am doing not completely what the other 10 people in front or behind me are doing. GNCC’s are more mentally intense because there are no moments available to get “bored” or distracted by outside factors. So much going on the entire time, mentally you have to be in the moment to get through the traffic and carry speed. Overall, my conditioning is there, I just need to get my mind to handle the chaoticness. I finished P-9 at the first round! Massive thanks to the Matteson’s for hauling me and all my stuff to South Carolina and for taking care of my start and pit needs! It was fun and interesting! Also, I want to thank the people supporting my mission this year: My parents Bonecutter Off Road Enduro Driven Fasst Company Fly Racing Bike Graphix Eline Accessories V3 Off Road Dunlop Enduro Van T3 Fitness Reset Health & Fitness Mariah & Robby Congratulations to fellow Bonecutter Off Road racer, Steve Leivan on his 1st place finish in A+50 at Big Buck! Another congratulations to Morgan Johnson on her solid 15th place finish in the Women’s class on a Beta 125! This year is for Frank, the best pit crew, the one who would never let me quit a race, the one who has been at 80% of my races, and the best story teller. #FrankTour22 More Posts Back To Blog Page

AMA National Harescramble Stillwater 500 & Gobbler Getter National Enduro

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

AMA National Harescramble Stillwater 500 & Gobbler Getter National Enduro 0 to 100 is the best way to describe last weekend. The way I do things isn’t for the soft…. Two things I wanted to do before the end of the season was race a harescramble and an enduro to see where my physical capabilities are at. Why not do both in one weekend and call it a test? Friday night I booked it to Stillwater, OK after work to race the AMA East vs West National Harescramble. I signed up for the 8AM race to get done and on the road sooner. It was also a longer race than the Pro/A/B women’s race lol. The flyer had it advertised as a 2.5 hour and I was concerned about that. During the rider’s meeting they announced they would do it off of the east coast rules, making it a 2 hour! Thank goodness. I had an ok start. The first few miles was a lot of battling and other people laying it over. The trail had a great combo of tight/technical and fast wide open. It was my cup of tea! One particular section was a downhill drop off. I took a bad line and endoed. Really amazed I even saved it but I managed to do so. After the first lap, I was in 3rd. I made a pass for 2nd and held it almost until the end of my last lap. Conditions were PRIMO. This was my first time racing there and it was a super fun trail! I finished 3rd and felt really good. After the race, it was a LOAD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! I rinsed my bike a little to rid of some of that glorious red Oklahoma dirt. I was loaded up and ready to roll by 11:30 to start the 11 hour trek to Alabama for the final NEPG. The first 8 hours went fast, the last three were BRUTAL! Thankful for all my friends that called me to keep me awake! We arrived around midnight. One of the best parts about my van is, I can park and go to sleep with no setting up. I slept great Saturday night and felt ready to rock at 6AM. The Gobbler Getter is always a favorite of mine! It’s been a full year since I’ve wiggled between tight, turny trees, I almost forgot how fun that is, and how much of a sprint it is. The first test flowed great and was fun, not too choppy and a good mix of tight and fast. Test two was a little tighter and longer. Test 3 and 4 suited what I like to ride well! There were lots of random sand wash sections, like 10 of them! Lots of fast and wide open too with some hill climbs. Just a great mix and even better flow. Test 5 was a bit more technical but still a fun one. It was a 10 mile section and with 3 miles left, I started to really wear down. I kept telling myself, the faster I do this, the faster I can be done. I finally finished and got back to the pits. I was toast and out of it. Billy Jack walks over if I want steak or chicken and I said both and both is what I got! It brought me back to life to start the 11 hour drive back home. I finished 7th out of 10 in Women’s Elite. It was great to be back at the enduros after being injured all year! Again, I appreciate my friends who kept me awake on the way back home. I was ready to sleep 20 minutes into the drive lol. I raced 75 miles this weekend… 27 hours of drive time, TWO NATIONAL RACES, and a solo road trip… EPIC Thanks to all the rad people helping me do epic shit. A big thanks to my dad helping me get my bike put together and ready to rock! More Posts Back To Blog Page

MY FIRST RACE IN 10 MONTHS

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

MY FIRST RACE IN 10 MONTHS I FINALLY GOT TO RACE! I haven’t raced since mid-November 2020, or even ridden since January 2021. I am stoked! The doctor has said I am healed and released to start riding again but supposed to “take it easy”. My first ride back was like I hadn’t been off the bike for 8 months. It was freaking great!! Each time, I am making less mistakes, my speed is faster than before and I feel great. With all of that in mind, I felt like I could handle the 35-minute Ladies A race. So, I lined up. Saturday morning, I was a big ball of excitement. To burn off some energy, I pedaled for 30 minutes. I really needed to chill out lol. I was not nervous just so ready! Practice rolled around and I did two laps. This was the first time I had ridden in the woods; I have only been practicing on our moto track. I did not have any meltdowns and wasn’t scared of trees or anything. The track was freaking sick! It had fast field blasts, fast wood sections, and handlebar tight turny sections. It was great and I was ready to rip!! During the 65 race, the rain started to come down. I was pretty bummed because I didn’t know if it was smart for me to race with conditions being sketchy when the doctor said to “take it easy”. I wanted to race so bad, so I said screw it. The rain finished up 10 minutes before the ladies race and did not rain at all. Mother Nature knew I needed to ride! I grabbed the holeshot and took it easy for the first few laps, trying to judge the slickness. By mid-race, conditions were EPIC! Ruts were forming and the dirt was tacky. My pace significantly increased. On my second to last lap, I had a really close call. In one of the wood sections, it was open, fast, and allowed for 4th gear pinned. It was sick. My shoulder was getting sore at this point in the race and I couldn’t maneuver the bike as well. There was a very slight turn in this section and if you continue going straight, it would be smash city into a huge tree. I literally thought I was going to hit it, my brakes did not slow me enough and my body could barely get the bike to miss it. BUT I did! That incident was enough for me to chill out on the last lap and just finish. I ended up 1st. I had an absolute blast. It is hard to find the right words with how it felt to be back out there again. I have the racing bug like I did when I first started racing. I am ready to get fully back and race AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN! More Posts Back To Blog Page

Cherokee National Enduro 2020

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Cherokee National Enduro 2020 It was great to finally get back to racing! Last weekend, NEPG resumed in Greensboro, GA. I really enjoy travelling and seeing different things, so that was one of the top things I missed about racing. Friday night we arrived to the hotel fairly early, so Huck and I did a 45-minute body weight workout and finished with some yoga. We arrived to race site mid-morning Saturday. It was absolutely great to see the race faces we have not seen in months. The day was spent checking out the current terrain conditions, catching up with friends, and getting sunburnt. Sunday the weather was steamy, hot and humid. I packed my Fly Racing Kinetic Mesh gear, thank goodness! Trail conditions was EPIC! 98% of the trail had primo dirt and a very small amount of wet or muddy spots. The trail was marked well and flowed amazing. It was great. Test 1 was 7.6 miles. It was tight turny with thousands of roots. I felt like it was a very demanding section but made everything else after feel easy. Test 2 was a shorter one and I really do not remember much about it. Test 3 and 4 were each 10 miles. In previous years, these sections are always my favorite. It held true again this time! They had a killer combo of tight turny then fast and flowy. It made it super fun! In test 3, there was a slick bridge and another girl wrecked off of it. I got distracted by the situation and wrecked right before the bridge and fell into a hole. Glad I did not fall off of the bridge itself lol. Test 5 was 8.8 miles. It was another fun test. About a mile in, a bee got caught in my jersey and repeatedly stung me on my sunburn. It hurt! I pulled on my jersey and kept trying to hit it, eventually the stinging quit. About halfway through this test, my arm started wearing down causing a handful of wrecks. After 73 total miles, I finished in one piece and so did my bike! I placed 4th in womens elite. I feel good about where I am and going to keep doing what I am doing! I would like to welcome Broc French back home after serving our country for the last 8 months. Thank you for your service and being a big part of the shop. WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HOME! This year, Broc is participating in the NEPG Beta Cup on his 2020 Beta 200RR. Congratulations to all Bonecutter Off Road Beta and Sherco Racer’s!

Throwback Thursday – 2017 Hardwood Enduro

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Throwback Thursday – 2017 Hardwood Enduro All racers have their stories, some exaggerated and some the complete the truth. This story is taking us back to 2017 at the Hardwood Enduro in Mansfield, MO, one of my last races on the Beta Xtrainer. Hardwood Hills Ranch is one of the rockier places on any Missouri race series circuit. The trails are established single track full of rocks, hills, and creeks. It is tough but can be made fun. This race was an enduro with restart format. That is similar to a NEPG. Pretty much, there are 4 people on your row, not necessarily anyone in your class but if you are lucky, it has your friends. Each row takes off every minute. I was on row 3, so my first test started at 9:03. Each test is anywhere from 3 miles to 12 miles long. If you are ahead of schedule, you might get a little break in between each test. I have done harescrambles at HHR but never an enduro. I signed myself up on row 3 with Megan Kennon and Carley LeRette. It kept it entertaining. All of us signed up in the Open C class. The conditions were ultra-dry, making those rocks loose and extra sketchy. I felt good all day long. I was not wrecking a lot or really struggling but most importantly having fun! I was not real sure what place I was in or how I was actually doing. The last test, I felt like I slowed down a lot. With a mileish left of that test, the CRAZIEST thing happened. I was on the trail and I knew I was almost finished so I picked up the pace a little bit. I hit a log that was on the edge of the trail and it LAUNCED me like a rocket ship, off the trail and over a barbwire fence!! Like WHAT?!? I landed it and came to a complete stop. Proceeded to freak out! How am I going to get back across? What am I going to do? BREATHE! CRAP! How’d this even happen? My mind was going faster than I rode my bike lol. I rode along the fence and couldn’t find a hole or a way back so I turned around and went back to where I went over it. By this time, some fellow riders seen me on the other side and were throwing their hands in the air, like what are you doing! I am reexamining this fence. My mind is still racing. So, I thought OK, I am going to try to wheelie and just launch it over this fence. Of course, that was not a bright idea. I got my rear wheel waded up in barbwire. So, now what! I FREAK OUT EVEN MORE! I had just went by Meg’s dad, Doyle, right before this happened, so I started yelling. HELP ME! Lol. He came along with Kevin Henslee. Which was perfect. It took both of them to get me out of the fence. Doyle had been timing since I went past him and I lost around 2 minutes there. Trust me, it felt like 30 minutes. Anyways, I was on my way to finish the last mile, shaking and riding recklessly. I finally finished. After I finish, I tell my story to everyone I see on my way back to my van lol. I make it back to the van and someone shows me the results…. I got 2nd place by 20 SECONDS! That literally crushed me! My fence jumping trick gave me a 2nd. I was disappointed but dang I have a cool LEGIT story to tell. Have you ever jumped a fence on a dirt bike without a pile of dirt being there?   More Posts Back To Blog Page
