I'm Back! (In White and Red and Black)

It seems like it has been forever since I've written on here! I apologize to anyone who has checked in for an update and found nothing new. I promise to keep you up to date on my happenings from now on.

2013 was a crazy year to say the least. I could write for hours about what has happened in my life over the last 8 months, but I will save you the time and sadness and just give you a recap of all the fun times I have had. (in pictures)



The girls in Germany

The beers in Germany

More beer

Sushi with the best

These beauts have always been there for me (thank you!)

 If you haven't heard the news, I will be racing for Norco Factory Team for 2014! I'll be joining my good friends Haley, Evan, Evan, Andrew, Andrew and Peter on the XC squad. I can't wait for an amazing year with these amazing teammates! 

I would also like to extend a huge thank you to Barry and Taylor Near, and everyone at Trek Canada who has supported me through the years. Barry and the team have been a huge part of my success since I was a junior racer and have always believed in me and my abilities. It sounds cheesy but I can honestly say that I would never have reached the level that I am at today without them, and I owe much of my success to their amazing support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Keep checking in for updates from my Tucson/California/New Zealand/Australia trip!
