Happy Mother’s Day!
Hey all you moms, here's to you for showing us how to fearlessly be ourselves on a bike, on a trail…in life. Thanks for your permission and encouragement to bust through boundaries, thanks for saying "Yes" when we wanted to take a different path, and above all, thanks for coming along for the ride, Happy Mother's day!
"Riding bikes is a positive outlet for us, a great stress reliever and something we enjoy doing together. We love to explore and be outside in nature, so being on our bikes gives us an opportunity to see more things! We love the excitement and the challenge riding single track has to offer. We love fierce strong girls/women on bikes! Ride on!" — Stephanie and Millie
"When I mountain bike with Miren, we're in her element. I love to see her confidence as she coaches and encourages me." — Abby and Miren
"Why we love to ride together: 'Because there’s bumpy trails, and I like to bounce up and down! And take photos! And eat snacks!'" — Juniper, age 3 (with mom, Emma)

"Quite simply riding together gives us a chance to bond and be silly together. It gives us a healthy activity to do and it challenges our skills. The girls are at the age where there is less ‘play’ in their lives, and riding in the woods is a fun, playful outlet! It gives us a chance to talk and catch up away from younger siblings. I love riding with my girls and am so proud of their growth." — Michelle with Abria and Alette
"We love to ride together since we like to be active and outdoors together!" — Andrea with daughter, Kara, and mother, Cynthia
"I love riding with Cami to see her confident in her own skin and enjoying life!" — Amy and Cami

"So often I am seeing and watching my daughter in her experiences, and with the mother daughter program, I get to actually live in it with her and create a bond that is just our own. Her boost in self confidence through the mentorship program and her ability to 'show mom the ropes' has expanded her physical and emotional abilities." — Julie and Nora Jane
"We love riding bikes together because we love the adventures and knowing what we can accomplish." — Kara and Miriam

"I love to ride with Rosa and Little Bellas because I get to see her dive right in and be fully involved. I especially love to see how she responds to the coaches as mentors and role models." — Shelley and Rosa
