2011 Loeka Team
Michelle Thorne - Marin County, CA
I hung up my high heels for much more practical Five Tens about six years ago. My story starts about the same as many girls in the sport, with a guy, but continues on a path of my own stokage. I thrive on fast flowy trails, and will always be the one cackling all the way down a trail, whether I just stomped a gnarley line or just about died trying. Riding has taught me a few life lessons that school couldn't teach. 1: Patience 2:Modesty 3:Bones do break. 2011 will be my third year on the BC Cup circut, with a second place overall finish in 2010, and an incomplete season in 2009 (see life lesson #3). My goals for the 2011 season are to stay in one piece, clock in more solid race times then the years before, and enjoy every minute of life!
