Rider Profile: Tara Clawson
July 2, 2007
Last year Tara Clawson had so much fun at Mt. Bike Oregon with her friend that this year she bought a gift pass for her husband. "I know he'll dig the riding," she says. Tara says her favorite trail is Alpine, and she can't wait to get back out there.
On a typical week, Tara, a 49-year-old from Sandpoint, ID, rides 2-3 times on singletrack that's - get this - right behind her home. She says it's only a 3-4 mile ride, but we say, still, it's right behind your house. How great is that? "When the snow melts off of Schweitzer mountain," Tara adds, "I try and ride their trail system at least once a week."
Tara enjoys riding all over her region. "Up here in the northern panhandle of Idaho we have some great riding. A little bit of everything. Our bike club, Pend Oreille Pedalers, has done a great job building new singletrack and buffing out existing trails. Our ski resort has some really challenging downhill rides. It's mostly tight technical riding, not a lot of wide open trails. Great scenery."

OH GOD! I keep reading this blog. Salivating. I can't go because I live in Maine and it's a hike and my summer is planned already, but I'm trying for 2008. I wish we had something like this out here. Hey everyone, have fun!

Way to go girls. I like seeing pictures of moms biking with their daughters. My ==four== daughters and I all go MTB together - without dad.
