Outdoor enthusiasts Arienne Strong and Charlotte Batty join us to talk about the importance of getting outside to play. Arienne is a recreational athlete and Program Manager and Developer at Hardwood Ski and Bike who spends her days helping people build recreational skills and find joy outdoors. Born and raised on two wheels, Charlotte has over twenty years in the mountain bike industry, and a real passion for creating community and getting more people on bikes. Our guests talk to us about the importance of building opportunities for women and girls to be active in a safe environment and the value of female role models. Arienne and Charlotte both share a love of coaching and chat about available mountain bike programs that build comfort and confidence and have been tailored for social distancing. We all get totally inspired by a 15-year old female cycling athlete who recently climbed up and down Blue Mountain 40 times (the equivalent height of Mount Everest (29,092 ft.)).
