Cycling, MTB, & Gravel Coaching For Women!
I specialize in coaching women across cycling disciplines. Why do I focus only on women? Because we have different needs!
From menstruation to pregnancy and menopause, the best ways to care for our bodies and get stronger are different for us than for men.
Women also have different challenges. We are more likely to be caretakers and have less free time for training than men. We are more likely to have socially-conditioned body and confidence issues.
I’m passionate about working with female cyclists because we’re often overlooked–on the road or trail, in sports science, and even by many coaches. It brings me great joy to help women work thru our unique challenges and find empowerment on the bike.

Why Work With Me
Hi, I’m Kristen. 👋 I’m a USA Cycling certified coach and the owner and founder of Femme Cyclist.
I’ve been riding and racing bikes for over two decades, and have done it all at one point or another. From century rides to mountain bike races to gravel events and bikepacking, I’m always up for a challenge and working to improve myself. Depending on the discipline, age, and stage, I’ve finished races everywhere from on the podium 🏅 to somewhere in the middle of the pack 😂.
I am not an elite athlete, nor do I coach elite athletes. I coach all the “average janes” who have big dreams, and need help making them come true. 🫶
I’m constantly staying on top of my education by taking continuing education classes on coaching, nutrition, menopause, and more. My goal is to stay on top of the science so I can make informed decisions to help you reach your goals and feel your best.
I’m a business owner, mom, and wife. Those things come first, and then my bike! Riding is how I take time prioritize myself and my needs–I’m sure much like you do.
Aside from biking, I love trail running, dogs, camping, and books. I live in Boise, ID and am Idaho born and raised.

You Do Not Need To Be An Elite Athlete To Have A Coach
You don’t have to be an elite athlete, or even a particularly serious athlete, to work with a coach. Everybody can benefit from a little help!
I love to work with:
💜 Women with busy careers, children, elderly parents, pets, and homes to care for
💜 Beginners and those new to the sport
💜 Middle (or back) of the pack racers looking to work your way up
💜 Folks coming back from illness, injury, and childbirth
