Do you ever sit around wondering what’s going on in other peoples’ lives right now? Like, people you don’t even know that you don’t know? That’s what I do every year during the UCI Mountain Biking World Cup.
These incredible athletes come to Snowshoe from all around the world (like, for real!) for the last big races of the year for them. They have trained hard, and it’s all riding (bike puns) on just a couple runs down the mountain.
The past few years have been extra fun because we host a team from Switzerland who are just absolutely fabulous. And are an awesome social media follow, if you’re into mtb at all. Find them @gamuxracing
So, now we’re not just worried about how people we don’t know will do… we’re INVESTED. We need our team to do well.
Today is Friday, and Snowshoe is abuzz with all the excitement and energy of the biggest summer biking event. It’s completely packed out and absolutely the best. This crew is generally amazing and loves being on the mountain and is having a blast while they are here.
The week features lots of different styles of races, including, this year for the first time, a marathon race. For all the details, Snowshoe has a fabulous breakdown of everything over at their site.
And now off to enjoy the rest of the week. Happy riding!
