RACING
In the MTBChix&Trails group there are members who have raced many times, but also members who are looking at entering their first race soon. We often find that once the discussion turns to a race that is coming up, newbies get into the spirit and end up entering. The races our members take part in range from Time Trials, Enduros to Downhill. Michelle and Sarah entered their first race, Chopwell NDH TT in January 2015. Feeling so nervous, but with the support of other members of the Chix taking part, nerves were put at ease and everyone had a great time.

For some of us it's about getting on that podium, for others it's about the spirit of the day and taking part. Whatever your aim, the team spirit amongst the girls is amazing. Of course it's competitive, but the moral support, the friendships and cheering on does wonders for any nerves, especially for those new to racing. If you're spectating, you actually feel like you're missing out by not racing. Some of our members have sponsorships with various companies and racing is the best way to get noticed. It's often the best chance to meet other members too, whether taking part or spectating. It's great for the women to have supporters out in force! |
