It looks like Sarah "won" the Santa Cruz HellRide 4 invite this year!
I was a HellRide finalist for the men but one of the Team Dicky guys took the win.
Sarah.....start training. In fact maybe you should head up to Downieville the following weekend and do some test running!

Here are the details about the winners....
Santa Cruz Bikes Hellride

Congrats!!!

gurp13 · 05-30-2007, 05:27 PM

And she's rocking the STR jersey! Now, finally, I might look cool on the bike if someone sees me wearing one. Yesssss!

That's awesome, Sauce! I think congratulations, but you're gonna have to ride hard! (Which you will, but you'll be wondering what you "won" exactly, at some point).

Way to represent!

allison · 05-30-2007, 05:28 PM

Congrats! Pretty soon she'll be racing DH on a Nomad. And say hi to Dicky for me. His blog is my fave!

Keith B · 05-30-2007, 05:29 PM

Aw Andy you blew her surprise announcement!

Great achievement to be chosen from 500+ - all that training certainly paid off

Ought to be an awesome event. Well done Sarah

roadkillross · 05-30-2007, 05:48 PM

wow sarah....u best win that nomad

FyrFytrRyn · 05-30-2007, 05:51 PM

niiice, the picture is quite humorous. good job!

Sharky · 05-30-2007, 05:58 PM

WOW...I couldn't be prouder!! Way to go girl.

allison · 05-30-2007, 06:14 PM

BTW, you two should hitch a ride with us to Downieville on the 8-10. You can demo a Nomad if The Path doesn't have any for use. Just ride it EVERYWHERE that weekend. You should be good to go and would be somewhat familiar with the trails/area.

andino · 05-30-2007, 06:36 PM

wow congrats Sauce! you should wear your STR jersey when you do that ride haha

Absolutely Outstanding Sauce! Way to represent STR and of course women with an attitude!

Good Luck!

Very nice.

Nice job Sauce!!

You're gonna find out what that whole "pain is weakness leaving the body" thing is about! You'll be a lot stronger when you're all done!

Just remember to keep smiling when it REALLY hurts!!

When: June 22, 23, 24, 2007 (the Hell Ride itself takes place June 23rd)

Who: Originally devised as a way to prove Santa Cruz freeride bikes could be ridden everywhere, the Hell Ride has devolved into a soul-destroying test of mettle. Legendary hard man Mark Weir almost became a victim of his own brutality at last year’s Hell Ride, and this year, is coming back to the high country a little earlier and a little meaner. He will be joined by the ultra-tough Rachel Lloyd, and the two of them will take one unlucky man and one unlucky woman on the ride of their lives.

Where: A grueling course somewhere in Northern California has been mapped. It will incorporate more than 10,000 feet of climbing into a distance between 60 and 80 miles, at least half of which promises to be technical singletrack. There will be rocks, lots of them. There may be some snow. There will be some pushing. There might also be the sounds of weeping, gnashing of teeth, and the occasional wailing of lost souls.

Why: If you are chosen, and if you survive, you get to keep the bike you rode. In this case, that will be a fully tricked out Santa Cruz Nomad, kitted with SRAM X.0 components and a RockShox Lyrik fork, valued at over $5200. It has 6.5 inches of travel, and weighs about 32 pounds. Given the amount of climbing involved, riders might be begging for something a little lighter and smaller, but that would kinda defy the purpose of this li’l ride, wouldn’t it? Besides, no amount of lightweight trickery will remedy the amount of uphill suffering on tap here. And the plush suspension and stable manners will be the only thing keeping people out of hospital in the rock gardens and on the descents. Just remember, if you don’t finish, you don’t get to keep the bike.

What else: Chosen entrants will also receive one free round trip flight to the location in Northern California. Food and accommodations while in Hell will also be provided.
