Rachel Atherton

Thought this would be interesting for the large amount of bikers on here. Was looking around on Red Bull and came across, this photo.

http://www.redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellit...nbike+Downhill

Rachel Atherton has a Caddy! How cool is that.

Anyone know whos it was? Or seen her driving it?

She had one, sold it now though I think.

Strangely I was chatting to her in a pub ages ago about riding and caddys, she'd just bought hers an I'd bought mine a few months previous. Didn't have a clue who she was just some lass that walked into the pub with donny and cunny...... You probably know them.

Haha I'm not pro. She certainly is I only beat her because she fell off. Thinking about it I reckon it was more like 5 years ago because she was still on muddyfox. The whole family are doing the British nationals again this year so it will be interesting to see how I do against them... April 8th will tell!
