I can’t wait for Spring, where we get to perfect the process and ride together again.
Ambassador Bella Roelelvd’s take:
It is rare to find an environment where you are encouraged to step out of your comfort zone. This is exactly what Jo&Co is all about. Women supporting women to grow as individuals and mountain bikers. When I first attended Jo’s clinic in the Spring, I wasn’t sure if I had the skills to be a mountain bike coach. We all have that voice in the back of our head telling us we can’t do something. The more time I spend around people like Jo, the quieter that voice gets. Getting a chance to lead a crew of such welcoming and amazing women this September was an experience I will not soon forget. Even though I was teaching them, they also taught me. We all left the park that day with new skills and a sense of community
