About
Welcome to Ride Montana!
About me: My entire life revolves around bikes. I’ve been riding and racing bikes since I could walk. I put myself through college working in bike shops, spent five years working at the International Mountain Bicycling Association, and currently serve as Vice President at MTB Missoula. I’m a proud Ambassador for Club Ride Apparel, Rocky Mountain Bicycles, Missoula Bike Source and Maxxis Tires – USA. I help coach the Missoula Mammoths NICA team, and am working on my Professional Mountain Bike Instructor Association – PMBIA
Level 1/2 certifications. I truly believe life is better on bikes, and want to share my passion for this rad sport with you in ways that enrich your ride experience and your life.
About Ride Montana: I offer private skills instruction for all abilities, whether you’re just starting out or you’re an aspiring racer. I will work with you one-on-one to hone your skills, set goals, and improve your abilities and confidence. I also offer group clinics for you and your riding buddies, if a social setting is preferred. Soon, I will offer guided rides on Montana’s best singletrack trails (some well known, some you’ll have to book a trip to find!) both in the Missoula valley, and around Western Montana at large.
This is a passion project. Something I have wanted to do for a while but needed a little thing called COVID-19 to kick start…
I love riding bikes, and want Ride Montana to grow and support a thriving mountain bike community. Let’s work together to build skills so you can conquer that tricky rock garden, or clean that tight switchback. I can promise this; we’ll have a ton of fun along the way!
Thanks for your support, and welcome!
