Dellys Starr: Australian National MTB Champion!

Spot Brand rider Dellys Starr took a big step towards her spot on the Australian XC Olympic team by winning the National Title January 27th. 33 Women lined up & were all hoping to win today which would seal a spot on the Olympic shadow squad, but Dell powered away in the first lap and stayed away all day. Being on the shadow squad doesn't mean she's a lock for the Olympics, but today's win is a huge step toward that goal. Congrats Dell, way to rock it!!! Keep an eye out for her XC Short Course results later today.

1 Dellys Starr (Spot Brand Bicycles) 1.54.47

Wow, great news!
Did anyone from the OB/Spot Brand team race in 24 hours in Old Pueblo? Will the team be in Texas this weekend for the Bar H Bash?

February 16 - 24hrs of Old Pueblo
March 2 - Bar H Race, Dallas, TX

I guess I don't know what month it is. I thought it was February already.....sad isn't it? That's what happens when you work 7 days a week. I've been thinking...in your next life?...on Star Trek?...next year? For two days!

And while I'm being confused, did you hit a few extra keys? What is 'nibindeed'?

And one more kwestion, did you and/or your friends have anything to do with changing the Lyons HS rocks on the hill? Someone told me you hang out up there.
Signed, just wondering.
