Here’s my 2018 Scott Contessa Spark 910 – the same bike Sonya Looney raced last year!

This bike has taken my to amazing places and helped me achieve big goals. It has raced and ridden in Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico, Arkansas, and this June will be headed to Mexico to train in the Carmen Mountains for my 2nd attempt at a 100-miler at the High Cascades 100 in Bend, OR in July.

I race Cat 2 XC events, XTERRA triathlons, and endurance events and this bike has been like a friend to me. Comfortable, loyal (even though I wrecked her on my first ride and bent the derailleur hanger!) She’s comfortable, reliable, and always up for adventures!

This bike is my tool for empowerment as well. I currently mentor for Little Bellas, a young girls’ program that teaches confidence through mountain biking, and lead rides for Ride Like a Girl, a women’s-only program of our local IMBA chapter that gives women of all skill levels a safe and welcoming place to grow in the sport. I even have a “Ride Like a Girl” decal on the side that my Bellas think is soooo coool (which is great, because it’s hard to get kids to think you’re cool!)

I’ve added pink ODI grips, DIRT Components Rough Country 29er wheels with pink I9 hubs and pink spokes (and sparkly pink decals, ‘natch.), and pink ISSI pedals to make it just loud enough for its presence to be known. It’s definitely the one thing I’d save in a house fire! Love my bike!
