Mount Snow Mountain Bike Festival

There are some fun goings on at Mount Snow, VT this weekend. There's a Kenda Cup Pro XC race, but what's really exciting is that there are also downhill and dual slalom races too! Jeff Lenosky's doing a Super Stunt Show. Also, there are mountaincross and mountain bike skills clinics, so if you've always wanted to try racing a different discipline, now's your chance to learn to do it right! Oh, and don't forget the Super D racing, short track, concert, and fireworks! For more information, visit http://mountsnow.com/bikefestival.html.

Marla Streb's Costa Rican Mountain Bike Camps

Marla Streb's mountain bike skills camps in Costa Rica are finally starting up! The 3 day, 4 night camp is all-inclusive, so you get personalized skills clinics, lodging, meals, zip-lines, surfing, yoga, wild animal parks, jungle epics, waterfalls, and more! Improve your confidence and skill under the instruction of Marla, who is a 2-time Singlespeed World Champion, 2-time US National Downhill Champion, and the 2003 World Cup Downhill Finals Champion.

There are women's only camps on the schedule as well. And, when you get to Costa Rica, you'll be riding a sweet Orbea Occam freeride rig, so you don't have to stress about shipping your own ride.

Just bring your helmet, sunblock, and sense of adventure! Check out Marla's website, StrebMountainbikeCostaRica.com for more details.

Oh, and check out this photo--believe it or not, she's 8 months pregnant here!
