Success Stories from Women Like You!

“Even though it's a group environment I felt like I had more individual attention then I expected. It was like each week was written just for me.”

- Group Program Participant

“I had no idea that this program would change such a drastic part of my life, but I am so grateful for it! It's been so helpful to look at all aspects of my life.”

- Stephanie S, Group Program Participant

Meet Erica, your coach.

I started as a total beginner mountain biker in the spring of 2018. Although I’ve always been a fairly active adult, I’d lost focus on my fitness with the busyness of life. Riding 6 miles was a BIG accomplishment that first summer.

Eight mountain bikes and five years later, I now compete in endurance MTB races, train other athletes, and help women around the US start their own MTB communities.

Never did I imagine on that first ride that I would go from 6 miles being exhausting to riding 80+ miles in one day during an endurance MTB race where I placed 1st!

All this while raising a family, leading organizations, and volunteering as a coach for student athletes. (And finding time to read a good book here and there every once in a while…)

A lot of women ask me how I do it. How do I find time to ride with everything on my plate?

The truth? I’ve had to learn to prioritize my health and prioritize myself. And, I invested in myself through skills clinics, learning bike maintenance, buying gear that worked for me, and surrounding myself with other women who love to ride.
