My mountain biking journey kicked off in my hometown of Mount Dora, Florida, when a new trail opened up. Armed with an old Giant bike snagged for just $50 at a yard sale, I hit the trails. Sure, there were moments of frustration and a few choice words, but I was determined to push through! Eventually, I upgraded to a better bike, and that’s when the real adventure took off!
Once I got hooked, I realized I needed to find other women who shared my passion for biking. That’s how I launched the Florida MTB Ladies group! Fast forward six years, and we’ve grown to over 1,000 members. Our community is thriving, and we organize weekly and monthly rides, with the occasional out-of-state adventure!
I realized that something was lacking in my riding. Having a background in the horse industry, I understood that lessons were essential, even for professional riders. It was during my first clinic that everything clicked for me. This experience inspired me to pursue a career as a mountain bike instructor.
I absolutely love taking part in fun Enduro races along the east coast, always on the lookout for new challenges that keep me pushing while having fun. I offer lessons to help you step out of your comfort zone safely and confidently to sign up for that race you’ve been looking at!
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to divide my time between teaching lessons, conducting clinics, and hosting AMAZING events in Mount Dora, Florida and Ellijay, Georgia at Mulberry Gap.
There’s something magical about riding on the trails, just you and your bike. And then there’s that tricky feature you’ve been battling – the moment you finally conquer it is pure joy!
Lessons play a vital role in boosting confidence, developing skills, enjoying experiences, and exploring new places with the confidence gained from the foundation skills you've acquired.
