Yesterday was the 1st International Women’s Mountain Biking Day! It’s pretty rad that we now have a day dedicated to women mtb-ers. I didn’t always love mountain biking. When I first started riding, I was extremely intimidated–I rode with people that were way more experienced than I was. I rode pretty gnarly trails (mostly hiked them), but I kept riding-determined to get better. With each ride, I conquered a fear, whether it was steep descent, a technical rooty section, or a rock garden. With each ride, I got better. And that’s the thing about mountain biking–with every ride, there is the opportunity to become a better rider.  There’s nothing more confidence-boosting…
