Julbo wrote a nice post about my upcoming season. I feel lucky to be one of their sponsored athletes, they take good care of me and are always excited about my races! A recent post from their blog:
Dirt diva and Julbo athlete Erica Tingey is off to a busy start with her race season. Focusing on the national Pro Mountain Bike Cross Country Tour, or “Pro XCT”, Erica hopes to garner enough points to race the World Cup in New York at the end of June.
On April 21, Tingey competed in the renowned Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California, placing 14th in a world-class field of 30 (including four national champions). As it is an Olympic year, racers on the long list are working to get as many UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) points as possible to secure a spot on the Olympic team, so competition is fierce. Go Erica, we are rooting for you this season!

“There were seven races in the Pro XCT last year and only five this year, so each one is really important!” states Erica.
In between the Pro XCT races, Tingey will participate in the Intermountain Cup, the Utah State Championship Series, and finish off her season with the Park City Point to Point, an endurance race on 80 miles of buffed-out, classic Utah singletrack.

And which Julbo’s will we see Erica rocking these days? “I’m still loving The Dirt glasses. They are my default glasses for just about every ride. They are perfect in all types of light and are super comfortable. The Tour are my casual glasses that are worn the rest of the day. Anytime you see me off my bike, I will be in those!”
