I started mountain biking about 11 years ago when I lived in Utah.  I moved to Longmont, Colorado shortly after I started riding and since then it has become an obsession!  I am not the fastest or the best rider out there but I always have fun and I love sharing the sport with new riders.  I coordinate and lead the Gurlzrides for Boulder Mountain Bike Alliance as well as riding as a Bike Patroller for BMA.    This will also be my fifth year volunteering as a Mentor for Little Bellas (girls mountain biking program). I have participated in a variety of mountain bike races over that past several years.   I love doing 24 hour races and have taken second place several times with fellow team members and 1st place last year riding solo in a 12 hour race in New Mexico. I look forward to being an ambassador for Dirt Labs and learning more about suspension and sharing my newfound knowledge with others who love this sport and who are as mystified by suspension related topics as I am.
