I had a wonderful race today at the Gone Riding SERC # 4 in Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, GA. This is one of my favorite MTB Trails and I was looking forward to racing here for several weeks now. This is the last race before USA Cycling MTB Marathon Nationals, so I knew that I had to make today my last very hard effort before I start tapering back. As usual, I got some strong women line up beside me in the Pro/Cat 1 start, and sure made me WORK. With yesterday's win in the Time Trial, I woke up today feeling very good about what I could accomplish so I put it all out there. 😅 My best got me a 2nd Place to the great Madison McDaniel, who continuously impresses me with her awesome skills. I tell you guys this from the bottom of my heart, Madison can handle a Mountain Bike better than any other woman I have ever seen riding. Riding behind her is truly an honor. Congrats on your win @madisonmcdaniel__ . Huge thanks to @alexbicycles for their continued support, and to Coach @drewedsall for prepping me just right for this weekend. I hope you all had a great weekend, too! Thanks for wishing me luck ✌🏼😘 . . . . #alexbicycles #mtbchick #SERC2017 #ride_bmc #womencyclists #girlswhoshred #bikelove #GAParks #mountainbiking #chasinggoals #chasingpodium #enduranceathlete @alexbicycles @gone_riding_events #fromwhereiride #lifebehindbars

"Successful People Do Daily What Mediocre People Do Occasionally!" @jfeldmanfit ⚡️⚡️⚡️ I'm not where I need to be, but I am getting closer and closer! I had a killer day on the bike today, achieving some personal records on a long ride, and a few #stravacycling QOM's during what was an Endurance ride from start to end. That was not the goal, but I'll take them! 💥💥💥 I'M FEELING ON FIRE!!! 💥💥💥 #fondobutt @fondocycling #mtbchick #womencyclist #wattsupjoss #smilemore #ridemore #ridebike #milesofsmiles #alexbicycles #floridamtb #mtb #mountainbiking #wattsforbreakfast (at Santos Mountain Bike Park)

This morning's interval session left me feeling like I got dragged around by a truck all day today. 😒😒 I have two weeks to go before I get a recovery week, so I must keep pushing! I'm doing everything I can to guarantee faster recovery, and yoga certainly is my biggest contributor to being able to successfully push through these hard weeks of training on the bike.🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️ "The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win." -Roger Bannister #yogachallenge #wattsupyoga #recoveryyoga #mtbchick #crosstraining #wattsupjoss #womencyclist #girlswhoride #girlswhoshred #wattsforbreakfast #mtbfitness #coachdrewedsall #alexbicycles #roadbike

I met the @Budweiser Clydesdales today while riding my bicycle. One of them was infatuated with my @kask_cycling helmet. They are sooooo much bigger than I imaged, and so much taller than me. Sweet boys! I couldn't get enough of them. #budweiserclydesdales #fromwhereiride #kaskhelmets #alexbicycles #girlswhoride #womencyclists #optoutside #horses #wattsupjoss #wonderfulwildwomen

When trying to make progress, what we do OFF the bike is equally as important as what we do ON the bike. I have found a 15 minute Yoga sequence for Mountain Bikers on YouTube that has helped me get rid of muscle soreness faster! #mtbchick #crosstraining #wattsupjoss #yoga #mtbfitness #getonthemat @yoga15abi

SMILE THROUGH THE PAIN 🚴🏻‍♀️💨 I have been working on my mental strength a lot lately, and learning how to push my limits further than I knew I could. This morning I received a motivational text from @jfeldmanfit that helped me through one of the hardest interval sessions I have been instructed by @drewedsall: "Josselyn , most of the people you will compete against are training to be better than you. YOU must train to be better than that. GO TIME!" ⚡️⚡️⚡️ You can also try this workout by signing up at www.mtbfitness.com 🚴🏻‍♀️💨#wattsupjoss #wattsforbreakfast #alexbicycles #milesofsmiles #rideyourbike #lovebike #optoutside

When in Pisgah, you can go for a ride and a hike at the same time. 😜 I would rather strut through those log bridges than land on my face again. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #subdayfunday #pisgahnationalforest #findyourpark #girlswhoshred #mtbchick #walkitout #alexbicycles #seekadventure #getoutside #outsideisfree #ridebikes #fromwhereiride #womencyclists #ridebike #lovebike (at Pisgah National Forest)

Excited to ride today again after taking a couple of days off to heal from a stupid crash... it's my last ride in Pisgah this year, so I'm about to ride until I drop. #mtbchick #ridebikes #womencyclists #alexbicycles #wattsupjoss #findyourpark #pisgahnationalforest #subdayfunday #wonderfulwildwomen #girlswhoshred @hbstache @alexbicycles @ride_bmc (at Pisgah National Forest)

This is Pisgah speed on a squishy bike I test rode today! The #YetiCycles SB5, 27.5 was a great ride.
