Rachel Atherton Instagram – We won MBUK Lifetime Acheivement as “The Athertons” @dan_atherton @gee_atherton ❤️🥰 such an honour to win, amongst some great company ❤️ We were asked what our “highlight” of the year was & I couldn’t choose just one! It’s been a ridiculous year for @athertonbikes winning our first Elite Mens World Cup with @andreas.kolb66 & then @charlie_hatton1 becoming world champion 🌈 these 2 things felt more special than any race I’ve won in the last few years let me tell you that!! 🤯🥳 & being @dyfibikepark every weekend just meeting you guys & chatting & lapping , it’s so rad to see this side of our sport after so many years racing, to connect with you all on a different level, it’s such a honour. we always just want to keep pushing & we are just beyond stoked that we have gotten to have long careers racing bikes but that we still get to share the love of mountain biking with all you guys by having @athertonbikes & @dyfibikepark @athertonracing 🥇 🔥🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 we want to push boundaries & push this sport that has given us so much, But we always want to do things that felt right & natural…. Thanks for supporting us for the last 20+ years, Sad @gee_atherton couldn’t be with us but our dad stepped in 😝 Love you gee, love you AFFY, love you mum & dad, but most of all I love Dan Brown 🥰😅 for believing in chasing dreams: Gill Harris, for chasing us to do the important things we couldn’t survive without, Tom LLOYD, all the staff @ atherton bikes, everyone on the race team & all the staff at dyfi bike park, LETS KEEP DOING THIS 🍻 My first real night out since I was pregnant, the 3 day hangover was worth it 😂😂😝😎 @mbukmagazine @oliverpaton pics
