Melissa Clark

Melissa is the first rider of this weekend's featured dynamic duo, the Clark sisters. Coming back for her second season of racing, she's looking to build on the experience and sucesses she had in 2007. Last season she jumped into both the Cherry Creek time trial series and Winter Park, doing a great job riding an old Trek hardtail for most of the year. For 2008 she'll be piloting her sweet new Giant Anthem full suspension machine and is hoping to add Winter Park to her list of podium accomplishments!

In addition to racing, she's been tackling both Moab and Fruita and making great strides in her technical abilities. After bombing Porcupine Rim on the hardtail behind Scott, Erik and Craig, Melissa realized she could ride anything. She also has a secret weapon in her corner with her number one fan and daughter, Ayshia, plus our ringleader, Scott, cheering her on.

Now let's hear what the elder Clark has to say herself...

Nicolette Clark

Nicolette is the second member of the dynamic Clark sister duo and the team is looking forward to her joining the Winter Park and Cherry Creek time trial crews this year. She's already done some mountain bike racing at the Firecracker 50 Sparkler, getting 2nd for the beginner women last year. In October 2007 she joined the RATM based 24 Hours of Moab team, Bufo Alvarius, and clicked off the fastest laps on her team. In addition to bike riding, Nicolette loves all things outdoors and is another member of the team in search of 14 summits.

Let's see what else she's planning for this year...

Marni Plesko

Following close behind DeLeeuw in last years CCTT, at Winter Park and now in the interviews is Marni Plesko. This interviewer's exceptionally cute and wonderful wife is fresh off her first season of racing bikes. While nervous to do her first time trial and cross country MTB race, she persevered and ended up going the distance in both series. With the help of her friends and class partner, future Ride Against the Machine interviewee Melissa Clark, she took 2nd place for the 19-29 beginner women at the Winter Park series. This year she's looking to step up her racing in the sport class and keep pushing her endurance. During the off season you'll find her hiking 14ers, wandering the deserts of Fruita and Moab in search of dry dirt and most importantly, napping.

Let's see what else she has in store for this season...
