WORLD CUP!

Filed under: Journal — Hannah Steffens @ 8:16 pm

Hey Everyone!

  So, we have been in New Zealand for the last week, and it has been amazing!  It was cold and rainy for the whole week, but tha did not stop the Hannah’s!

  Tracy Hannah took home the World Champion Title for Junior women, and Mick Hannah placed 6th in the Elite Pro men!  That is the highest Mick has ever placed at the World Championships, and it’s going to keep getting higher!!! :)

  My team mates also did well in Cross Country.  Willow placed 17th, and Heather placed 22nd.  Not bad ladies.  Treavor had a mechanical, but he would have done well too.  Congrats team!

  So, I am in the New Zealand airport waiting for our next fllight.  I’m ready to move on!  Rotarua was a beautiful place with lots of very kind people.  I highly recommend it for a visit. :)  

  The big highlight of our last day there, was that we got to race “sprint” buggies!  It was so awesome!  These buggies are more made for going super fast in a streight line, so it made for some crazy driving on the oval track!  It was deffinently some really good fun!  It fed my need for racing cars at the moment! :)

  Ok, well I better go.  I hope this letter finds all of you blessed and well!  Until next time, keep it positive!!!

Hey Everyone!

  I’m sorry it has been soo long since I wrote.   We have been soo busy!  Traveling like crazy at the moment, but it’s been wonderful!

  Life is great, Marriage is AWESOME, Riding is fun, God is good, our families are well, we are blessed! 

  We are in Australia at the moment hanging out with the fam, and the weather is perfect over here.  It’s winter for them right now, but it’s like summer for me!  I love it!  It’s been fun hanging out with everyone again. 

  Tracey Hannah is doing very well in the NORBA series.  If she wins tomorrow, she will be the NORBA Champion!  We are super proud of her! 

  Crankworx was a blast!  2 weeks of training at Whistler couldn’t have been funner.  I spent a lot of time getting to work with all the campers in the fome pit they just built.  I have to say that was the most fun I’ve ever had teaching and riding with campers before!  It reminds me of why I love to ride.  Helping people is the best part of it! These kids were great!  They learned soo fast.  3 kids learned backflips, and there were soo many other kids learning tricks, I can’t even keep track.  I got to work on a few things too.  Well, I atleast got to touch things up I guess you could say! 

 Thanks Whistler for giving me the opportunity to train and work with the young riders! It was a blessing!!! :)

  Mick got 3rd in the Crankworx mt. cross!  It was such a good race!  The best one I’ve watched yet!  It was soo close! I’m very proud of him for that!

  We are off to New Zeland next for the Championships!  Keep us in your prayers!  I know Mick can do it!  Thanks for all your support!

  I have to say, marriage is the funnest thing ever!  It’s been 5 months, and it just keeps getting better! 

  Have a great day everyone, and I will try not to let it go soo long till next time!

                                            RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
