Santa Ynez US Cup Results

Few people knew that the US Cup pro cross country tour was hosting gravity events in Los Olivos, CA last weekend. It's a real shame because that race venue is unique. The DH course isn't crazy or gnarly, but it's pretty hard to go fast on, and there's a great atmosphere of camping and socializing at the race venue. Although there was a downhill and a dual slalom, only two gravity girls raced all weekend, and they raced downhill. Props to getting out and representing, Margaret and Vanessa!

Santa Ynez NMBS Results

Melissa Buhl continued her reign of the National Mountain Bike Series gravity events at Santa Ynez, CA this weekend. She won the dual slalom and the downhill, and maintains her lead in both events in the series. Melissa bested gravity legend Leigh Donovan for the slalom win! The next NMBS gravity race takes place at Angel Fire next weekend (it counts for UCI pro points, the NMBS, the MSC, and the USA Cycling National Gravity Calendar). Don't forget about Freeride Foundation Girls' Night at Angel Fire on Friday!
