“It was a fantastic weekend for me. It felt good to have success with such high caliber competition. I raced one of Xprezo’s newest 650b models for all three events, the “Captain Tork”, and had so much fun on this nimble and capable steel hartail,” Berkenpas told Pedal.
“Great trails and a welcoming community feel made for an awesome three day event. Being able to finish 2nd in a close sprint in the Short Track on Friday was a great start to the weekend. Capping it off with a win in the Super-D was fabulous,” she added.
