DAY 1 : Done & dusted! 🇺🇸

"It rained all week, so I had thought it would be a bit muddier than it was but it turned out to be perfect conditions! On my way to Test 1/6, I got stuck in a bottleneck on a slick hill climb before it was re-routed, so that cost me some time but I am hoping that it will be adjusted because of the re-route. We will see tomorrow!
Overall, it was a great day & I covered about 160 miles! Thank you to everyone who has reached out, said a prayer, or helped fundraise, I wouldn’t be here without you!
Day 2 tomorrow, let’s go shred some dirtbikes in the rain 🇺🇸😝"

DAY 2 : Olivia is Killing it! 🇺🇸

" I got in the flow of things today! Only ate it once (of course it was on the concrete hah!) but other than that, I kept it on two wheels. Hoping to get some more photos soon! I was on time to every check and even got to ride with some people during transfers which was really fun! The course got a lot rougher because it was the same course as yesterday, but tomorrow we get a new course, so I am hopeful! The dirt here reminds me a lot of Capitol Forest when it rains or Washougal in the rain, so that part has been awesome! It’s supposed to rain some more overnight but hopefully not when I’m riding 🤞🏻 I am on the Eric Cleveland Memorial Team & currently we are in 1st place! So thrilled to be here and have so many people and brands supporting me ❤️
Thank you everyone for the kind words and prayers, they mean the world to me and I read all of them right before the day starts, onto day 3 tomorrow! " 

DAY 3 & 4 : 

Today was day 4! I had the most fun today because the transfers reminded me a lot of home there were some serious mud and water holes and lots of rocks! Everything went smooth for the most part, and in my 15 minutes I have to work on the bike at the end of the day, I changed a rear tire, put a new master link on my chain (the old one was getting pretty thin!) and put new brake pads in with about 7 minutes to spare.

What a ride!

We made it & finished an ISDE 6Days, which was the whole goal, and our team won the first ever Women’s Club Team Division

This has been the experience of a lifetime and I am so thankful for everyone who commented, shared my posts, kept up online, texted me, called me, bought t-shirts, sent prayers and anything and everything else. It truly means the world and I simply would not have been able to do any of this without the huge support from the riding & racing community. THANK YOU

About Oliva: 

I grew up riding in the great state of Washington and learned to ride when I was just 4 years old. Since then, I grew up riding about once a month with my brother, Kyle and my parents Courtney and Ryan. We frequented Capitol State Forest because we belong to the Tacoma Trail Cruisers dirt bike club. When I got a bit older, we started going on more and more trail rides and eventually tried out a track when I was about 13 years old. This is when I figured out what hare-scrambles were and what racing as a whole was.

My first off-road race was the last NORCS race of the season at Riverdale MX in Toutle when I was 13 years old. I raced in the Women’s Amateur class and got a wonderful 10th place. From there, I was hooked on racing. Fast forward a few years, and I have won the Women’s AA class 2 years in a row! I have made countless memories, met the coolest of people, been to some of the most beautiful places, all while wearing a giant smile and having the best time.

I decided that I wanted to try and qualify for 6Days when a good friend went and shared how cool of an experience he had. That same friend was going to Redding, CA to the ISDE west qualifier and I decided to hop in and see what it was all about. Originally, I had planned on this being a learning experience to prepare and try to qualify in 2025 as I am finishing up my student teaching this year and will graduate in June with my Bachelors of Science in Education. I was very shocked and honored to ride for Team USA on a Women’s Club Team, and although it has been a crazy year completing my degree and working full time, I could not pass up this opportunity of a lifetime. 

I am EXTREMELY grateful for anyone who read all these words & has supported me on this journey so far. I continue to appreciate all the support, kind messages, prayers, and donations. 

ISDE: International Six Days’ Enduro

National teams are invited from around the world to compete for the World Championship of Enduro and Off Road Racing.

Each country can have a specific amount of riders for each class, the World Trophy Team can have four, Junior Trophy can three riders 23 or younger, Women's World Cup can have three females riders and three riders for Club division.

The first Six Days race was held in Carlisle, England and is the largest off road motorcycle competition in the world. The rider and the motorcycle are one and both have to be in tip top shape to make it to the finish on some of worlds toughest terrains.

The event has been held in many countries including the United States over the years and the rules for the most part have stayed the same. Rider follow a set route and pace over six days, there are only certain times a rider can work on their bike and what they can use to for tools and parts. 

Most competitors ride at least 1000 miles for the duration of the race.   

The World Trophy champion is determined by totaling the times of each team’s three fastest riders for each of the event’s six days (including time penalties). The team with the lowest combined time is the winner. The United States has won the World Trophy three times.

In the Junior World Trophy, Women’s World Cup and Club divisions, the champion is determined by totaling each three-rider team’s times for each day (including time penalties). The team with the lowest combined time is crowned the class champion. (credit) American Motorcycle Association
