“You were supportive and patient and clearly knew how to get me where I wanted to be… I doubt the feeling when I rode off and landed the Fade to Black drop will ever go away! Best of all, we had fun getting there. By the end of the season I was literally (and am still) riding beyond my wildest dreams!"
— Clair (Women's Camper)
