Titan Desert Mountain Bike Race

Lex Albrecht will be joining the White Angel by Santivari mountain bike team, to compete in the 6-stage mountain bike race, in the Moroccon desert, Titan Desert. (May 8-13, 2022) The 5-racer, all-women team, includes former Canadian National Champion, Véronique Fortin, and Spain-based Canadian, Geneviève Jacques. Lex will travel through Spain, and arrive in Africa the first week of May.
The race has been called "the hardest MTB race in the world" and brings racers through the mountainous territories and the Moroccan desert. The Titan Desert has been held annually in Morocco since 2006
"I have done many stage races, all over the world, in a range conditions and on a huge variety of terrain. Never, have I ever done a mountain bike stage race though, and I'm apprehensive, but mostly excited about the experience. I won't have a lot of time to practice my mountain biking skills before I head overseas, but I know I have the bike to perform well, and hope I'll be okay with the indoor training I did in the late-winter. The Titan Desert courses may be long, but apparently they're technically forgiving. Whatever happens, I'll give it my all, and I know this is going to be an experience of a lifetime. I'm grateful for the opportunity!"
