This week, Coach Chris speaks with Lindsey Richter, who created Ladies AllRide, to talk about why more women should mountain bike for the physical, mental and emotional benefits it brings.

Lindsey visited us in North Carolina several times, where Coach Chris attended and learned how to ride more confidently. Lindsey even taught her how to pop a wheelie!

Lindsey talks about how she got into (then out of and back into) mountain biking. She also talks about how it's brought her both physical and emotional strength through life's ups and downs. She created Ladies AllRide since she believes ALL women should ride.

Ladies AllRide mountain bike skills camps are all about bringing people who identify as female together to learn skills on their bikes and share the joys of mountain biking in a fun and welcoming environment.  They currently have camps and retreats available in Oregon, Arkansas, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, and more. The women who teach the clinics are "regular women who love bikes and want to share it with other people."

Lindsey talks about how getting into the sport may be an investment, but she gives great tips on what you should have to get on the trail and what you should say when you go into your local shop.

Lindsey points to how women should know that they are "pilots, not passengers" not only on the bike but in life. 

If you want to be inspired and excited to ride bikes, listen to this one! Book one of their awesome camps or retreats at their website her www.ladiesallride.com
