Riding Role Model

I'm an active Mom and 2 very active little boys.  My goal most days is to keep up with them until bedtime, and then start over again the next day. 

We LOVE mountain bike trail riding.  Before kids, this was something my husband and I did every chance we got.  Now that the boys are older and can join us on the trails, we are back at it, and it's even more fun now then it was back then.


I ride because we like being outdoors and being physically active. We teach the boys that when your body is strong and alive physically, then your mind also thrives!  Keeping your body active and healthy is the best way to have success in all things you do in life.  

What I love about riding with them, is teaching then that even I get scared to try new or challenging things, and that's ok, but that when we break through that fear and do it, it feels so amazing!

Mom's can be amazing role models to their boy.  Teaching them that women can be physically strong too.  Plus, it's way more fun to race them through the forest then just watch on the sidelines ;)
