5th in the US for Enduro National Championships @usacycling and 9th at the @northamericanendurocup! This race is always equally fun as it is demanding!! Had some crazy conditions with the snow, and the last long stage was 3500 vertical ft of descending 🫨 had a pretty bad mechanical on stage 2 and some rough crashes on the last stage that set me back a bit 🫠 Didn’t really feel like I was racing to my full potential the second day, but still happy to be in the mix with some top stage results and how I was pushing myself! Huge thank you to @smbikepark @silvermountain @northamericanendurocup for an awesome event as always 🔥 twas some epic riding!! 📸 @stevethephotog #northamericanendurocup #nationals #silvermountainbikepark #maxxismtb #velocioapparel by @liawestermann

So excited to start the @bigmountainenduro series off with a win! 🥳 feels so good to be back at this race series, haven’t done one since 2023 bc I broke my collarbone biking in 2024 and tore my ACL skiing last year 😭 injuries suck so bad. But all the hard work has paid off and we’re backkkkkk! Huge thank you to @bigmountainenduro for putting on a great 2 day enduro race! 7 stages total, 2 backcountry and 5 at the bike park which were rowdy! Super rocky and the jumps were sick! Stoked to win all 7 stages and to continue this race season and see how things go, what a great start 💚😊#velocioapparel #velociomtb #maxxismtb by @liawestermann

The Pro Women’s race report from round 1 at @granbyranch is brought to you by @jockofuel. Come on by the BME trailer at every round to grab yourself a free sample, and when you go to grab your purchase online, use code “BME” for 20% off. Support the brands that support us; keep Enduro alive. Sometimes all you need is a little injury comeback story, just like we’ve seen in Pro Men’s to light the fire again. Pro Women was no different. @liawestermann dominated all weekend, winning every stage and looking way more comfortable than the racer when seen in 2023. Excited to see how this story writes itself for the rest of the BME series for Lia. @lkjustplay may have gotten second, but her little helper on the podium got first in our hearts with the Spiderman outfit and a champagne shower. @ibriddyb may have a full-time job as a PE teacher, but she was still able to round out the podium in 3rd with the most stylish kit on the mountain. 📷📹 : @usasportinc by @liawestermann

There’s no better place to start the Big Mountain journey than @granbyranch . From flowing trails and high-speed descents to a race atmosphere that feels welcoming from the first lap, this is where progression meets pure fun. After two days of practice, racers pinned the BME number plate and headed out to do battle. With a clean sheet to start with, a whole new points chase for the BME title is underway. @mobbin_rob came out huffing and puffing with a stage two win and a healthy 5-second lead in the Pro Men’s class. @dalton__glenn always puts down good times at Granby Ranch, picking up where he left off in 2025. He added 2 stage wins and a solid gap over third place in overall times going into Sunday, and is still within striking distance of Rob. @luke_degriselles and @caveman_enduro earned their BME Pro License for 2026 and are taking full advantage of it to be in the running for the 100% + $1000 payback. @liawestermann aboard her Maxxis tire, Velocio ride is back and completely on fire in the Pro Women’s class with 3 stage wins over @lkjustplay and Brittany T Van Buren. She’s in full control going into Sunday, but anything can happen as we still have 4 more stages to go. The real story of day 1 on the mountain is the Semi-Pro class battle and times. Both Aj Lembitz and Milo Deem are flying with time faster than the Pro classes. @ajlembitz, aboard his BJC backed ride leads it with 3 stage wins and a 7-second gap over the Durango Devo backed @milo.deem. We are really looking forward to seeing how this plays out going into Sunday. Another @durango.devo backed rider is going into Sunday with the lead in the Expert Men (21-39). Alex Green snagged 3 stage wins and a 26-second lead going into Sunday. @travisohrazda may be a new father, but he isn’t losing any sleep over his two-stage wins in the E-Bike Men Open. The Pro Bike Supply / Mondraker riders’ overall time after day one would put him in the lead over the Pro Men’s class. Excited to see if he can hold it over the OnlyFans-backed @milangeis after Sunday.📷 @usasportinc by @liawestermann

Lovely weekend in the desert 🌵🏜️🧡 raced the 6 Hours of Frog Hollow endurance xc event this past weekend in the Pro category and took the win! 😊🥇this race was super important to me because this was my first mountain bike race back after ACL reconstruction surgery just over a year ago and my first race in a year and a half (crazy!!) A little over a year ago I was teaching myself how to walk again, relearning how to fire my quad, and basically rebuilding trust in my own leg again. Since then it’s been months of PT, strength work, patience, and slowly rebuilding confidence on the bike (and the skis!) during this race I felt like it all paid off and felt strong!! Huge thank you to my coach @wukarfit for helping me rebuild strength and get back to training.My mom raced too and took 1st!! so fun having her out there and sharing the weekend together. Overall, just a really lovely couple of days in the sun and on the bike!! This race felt like a huge milestone in my comeback and I was stoked that my time for each lap was pretty consistent and I was hitting the same times that I did before this injury in this race. and my first enduro race back will be in a couple weeks!! Can’t wait!! Stats from the race: 6 hours 9 minutes total, 70 miles, 5800 ft of climbing, 5 laps, crazy amount of nerds gummy clusters and banana and carb intake, 3 almost crashes and maybe 11? 12? Water bottles, I stopped counting lol#ziaridesraceseries #mtb #velocioapparel #velociomtb #maxxismtb by @liawestermann
