Meet Lindsey Richter, mountain bike skills coach extraordinaire. Lindsey is the founder of Ladies AllRide, a wildly popular series of mountain bike skills camps for women. These camps are recommended time and time again by the women in our community.
In this interview, Lindsey and I chat about the big things (like how to overcome a fear based mindset, and how the mountain bike community helped her during the darkest time of her life), as well as the little things (like which bike pedals are her fave).
Other Things We Cover In This Episode

Thank you! I loved this! I have been riding for over a year with my husband and recently an all male group. I realized that I wasn’t enjoying riding anymore and needed to be more independent to build my confidence. Can’t wait to make it to a ladies All ride camp someday. Will be listening to more of your podcasts!
Glad you enjoyed it Leonna! Adding more podcast episodes soon. 🙂
