CAITLIN T-BOMBER RIDES REALLY FAST

Going on her seventh week of base training, Caitlin T-Bomber’s season is looking like a fast one. “I haven’t skipped a beat this year. I’ve been really inspired by my sponsors and the local, as well as national, race scene to really boost my game”. After being picked up by team Vanderkitten , as well as other personal sponsors (her favorite = Honey Stinger, obv.), she enlisted fellow Stinger rider and certified coach, Aaron Oakes, to put together a training plan that will get her on the podium. “I actually LOVE kicking a** so this is perfect”.

Besides taking dignity from boys when showing off her technical skills, Caitlin gives tons back to the cycling community. In 2007 she founded the Atlantic Collegiate Cycling Conference cyclocross series and placed 2nd in the series. She is looking forward to a winning season and finally graduating from college. Stinger riders make us proud.

And adding to my ruling:

CAITLIN T-BOMBER DOMINATES ATLANTIC COLLEGIATE CYCLING CONFERENCE

Stinger rider Caitlin has won 3 cross country races 2 short track races, 1 super D, 1 down hill and 1 dual slalom race and a partridge in a pear tree to put her in the lead of the conference. In her other two races that she didn't win, Caitlin placed 2nd.

North Carolina State University held their home race this weekend involving a fast course. "I'm not a sprinter and the prologues generally hurt me. I drafted until we were close to the woods and I sprinted first onto the trail. I'm a much better technical rider than any of the girls in the conference but I can lose time easily on the hills and straights so I have to get in the woods first"
Caitlin races for the North Carolina State University in the collegiate series and team Vanderkitten in non collegiate races.

Caitlin on XC races "the competition is pretty tough but I push hard because I know that the boys only went off two minutes before me and I want to catch them even more than I want to win" Caitlin on dating "it's hard even though I'm surrounded by them 24 sev. My time is filled up with bikes, school and racing so I don't even have the opportunity". This weekend Caitlin will attend Crosstober fest; a cyclocross event filled with bikes and beer.

I can't wait to start racing. I'm thinking about starting next week but it's up in the air. There is a local race in Wilmington, NC where I've never been but always wanted to see. I think I could sweep it.
