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)

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!
