| Favorite place to ride | The remote high country near Silverton, Colorado. The trails are raw and the views are spectacular. |

| Best race memory | As a junior, there was a race in Telluride, Colorado. I was camping with my family and it rained all night before. I didn’t even want to race because of how cold and wet it was. But all my friends were doing it and I motivated to line up. Turned out to be the most fun mud-fest race. Racing in unique conditions with good friends is always blast! |
