Pro blog: Claire and the Fonta Winter Vomit Series


Chris and I both took windy wins on the weekend at the 1st of the Fontana Winter Vomit Series. It barely gets that windy on the top of Whistler mountain! Which made for a bit of a gong show.
You were at the mercy of 50 mile per hour gusts through the top corners, felt like a passenger through the mid rocky sections and might as well have been pedaling backwards along the wall of death, a 30+ second sprint to the finish.

The Wall, not just a clever name. Vomit! Chris did...

But more importantly, what is with the guy on the right in the background of my photo? What was he doing out there? Is that face fur? Thats random.

Anyways, hopefully more wins to come!
