I started riding a little later in life, my poor husband, who has always been an avid mountain biker, had tried to get me to ride for years (which often resulted in an argument, a stick in my ear and a negative attitude about the entire thing) Then one day I went out and everything just clicked, all of a sudden I was hooked, Riding made me happy, I loved being able to go out alone, with my family or with a group , no ride was a bad ride. I am so happy to be able to bring this experience to others. I am truly fortunate to be able to represent a brand that celebrates and encourages women in the sport. I love introducing women to the sport that may have been intimidated to go out, because they felt they could not keep up with the boys. I think working in a male dominated profession and raising a daughter has taught me that strong women encourage and empower each other. We must Liv Beyond the expectations placed on us and the ones we have placed on ourselves.
