AN ENCOURAGER TO IGNITE CONFIDENCE AND FUN
MY JOY AND LOVE OF FITNESS AND THE OUTDOORS SPROUTED FROM A SIMPLE OBJECT CALLED THE BICYCLE. THE FEELING OF CYCLING BROUGHT ME WONDERMENT AND FREEDOM THAT I CAN SHARE WITH OTHERS AND WITH MYSELF.
I THEN BRANCHED OUT AND COMPETED FOR 10 YEARS IN THE DOWNHILL SCENE AND RACED AT A PROVINCIAL LEVEL, WINNING TWO PROVINCIAL CUPS, BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ENDURO RACING.
THE EXCITEMENT OF RACING AND TRAVEL DWINDLED WHEN I ENTERED UNIVERSITY, COMPLETING A DEGREE IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS IN VANCOUVER, B.C. MOUNTAIN BIKING WAS STILL MY BIGGEST PASSION, AND I RODE FOR FUN AND WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THE BIKE COMMUNITY. I LED GROUP RIDES, MANAGED FEMALE RIDE GROUPS, AND A RACE TEAM, AND WAS ON A TRAIL SOCIETY.
I THEN MOVED TO ONTARIO IN 2019 AND WANTED TO BE AN ENCOURAGER TO IGNITE CONFIDENCE AND FUN FOR THE BIKE COMMUNITY HERE, SO I PURSUED SOME ADDITIONAL TRAINING, AND RECEIVED MY PROFESSIONAL MOUNTAIN BIKE INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATE.
WHEN YOU ARE OUT ON THE TRAILS WITH ME, YOU'LL GET LOST IN A WORLD WHERE YOUR DREAMS BECOME A REALITY IN LEARNING, PLAYFUL AND FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND AN OVER-ALL-FEEL-GOOD ATTITUDE WHETHER WE ARE PEDALLING UP OR SHREDDING DOWN THE TRAILS!
HAPPY TRAILS,
Vanessa
