The snow is starting to fly in the mountains, which means we are hanging up our bikes and dusting off our winter gear! I’m giving you three incredible exercises to add to your workout routine to help you feel more prepared as you step into your bindings again within the next few weeks. Let’s give them a try!
Last weekend VNTRbirds hosted their Winter 2023 Gear Swap + Sale. VNTRbirds hosts these biannual events every winter and spring at The Pad Silverthorne. A portion of all the sellers’ proceeds was donated to the VNTRbirds scholarship program, The VNTRFUND.
But the real spark that drove me to sign up for the Rip Roaring Enduro was the internal motivation to push my limits, fueled by the collective energy of other women striving for their best. It’s all about pure joy, free from attitude or macho competition. We make new friends while collecting our timing chips, cheer loudly for others as they finish, and exchange plenty of high fives and hugs. The women’s mountain biking community is truly unique—one that thrives on celebrating and uplifting each other’s achievements.
I had no idea how much my mountain biking skills could progress in just two days! It’s no surprise, though, because every VNTRbirds clinic offers a positive learning environment with knowledgeable and encouraging coaches and fellow riders who genuinely want to see you succeed. The collective cheers we shared as we confidently navigated corners and celebrated our breakthroughs are unforgettable. I cannot express how incredibly grateful I feel to have found this sport and this community.

When you don’t know the language, it’s easy to feel left out or frustrated. We’re here to help you dissect the chatter so you can join in!
