Many of the dirt loving ladies of the Peanut Butter & Co. Human Zoom mountain bike squad descended on Raystown Lake in western PA for Dirt Rag's Dirt Fest over the weekend of May 18-20. This was not a race but a festival of fat tires and good company.

On May 19th the Peanut Butter & Co. Human Zoom team made their way to Wilmington, DE to race the Wilmington Grand Prix in the center of Downtown Wilimington. The course was hilly, surprising being a skyscraper heaven! This course is notorious for splitting fields, with its difficult figure eight.

…AKA we are not in Philly anymore.
This weekend the Peanut Butter & Co. Human Zoom women learned what real hills are, or at least those that didn’t already know. Tour of the Dragons is a stage race – time trial, criterium and road race over two days – in/around Bennington, VT. Luckily for us, Mother Nature was kind and the weather on both Saturday and Sunday was warm and sunny, with a nice breeze to keep the temperature reasonable and clothing decisions easy. In addition to places for each stage, there was also placing for overall General Classification (GC), Sprint Competition and Queen of the Mountain (QOM).
