The last stop of my epic eight week adventure was held in Charlotte North Carolina over the weekend. The USA BMX event was held the same weekend as the BMX Supercross World Cup round in Argentina.

We got lucky with the weather in NC, storms where forecast for race day however we got some rain but luckily nothing to affect the racing. The USA BMX Pro Womens class seems to be stepping up every race with the level of competition and battles going on, increasing.

Day one I was definitly feeling the past two months crazy non stop adventures with my legs feeling heavy and sluggish. Over the three finals format where lowest points wins. I had some great battles with Dominique Daniels and Amanda Geving for the podium spots with Alise Post showing a

Round 2 of the UCI BMX SX World Cup series started with a 26hr flight to Santiago del Estero Argentina from California where I am based. I was looking forward to racing after not having the start I wanted two weeks earlier in Manchester UK. I was a little stressed about my luggage making it to my final destination with a lot of connecting flights and lay overs.

Bags arrived safe and the stress seemed to disappear immediately

Connor Fields and Shanaze Reade won the men’s and women’s main event of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Santiago Del Estero, Argentina on Saturday on 11th May 2013.

The Diaz sisters from Argentina did not disappoint the fans and both made it through to the semi-finals.

The final proved to be the race of the day with Reade taking the
