Jade started mountain biking in 2016 after taking an Intro to Mountain Biking class inspired by her partner, an avid rider. She loved it so much, she bought her instructor’s old bike a month later. Now, Jade and her fiancé spend nearly every vacation trying to find the coolest places to bike, from Peru to Slovenia. Soon after acquiring a bike, she joined an all-women off-road cycling club, the 706pchicks, and continues to mentor with those strong and hilarious women through the Athens chapter of Little Bellas. Read More…

Kaitlin grew up in a small Connecticut town surrounded by woods and a lake, which gave her endless opportunities for nature-based exploration. She later moved west to
pursue her career in marine science and now calls Santa Cruz, California home. In 2019, Kaitlin discovered mountain biking and quickly realized how awesome it is! She
can ride straight from her house to incredible Santa Cruz singletrack, whether near the ocean or through the redwoods—total win. She worked with her son from a young age
to build his mountain biking skills and confidence, which was an incredibly positive experience for them. That journey inspired her to become a mentor with Little Bellas to
continue helping kids have fun and feel empowered on and off the trails. Kaitlin is thrilled to be part of the team and to support the mission of Little Bellas as the California
Regional Specialist. Read More…

Maggie is returning to Little Bellas and New England after adventuring in Idaho and Wisconsin for the past several years. Everywhere she’s been, bikes have been synonymous with community and she’s excited to support that in her role at Little Bellas. Her dream day would involve a big french toast-centered breakfast, silly singletrack with friends, a jump in the river, and a very large burrito. She brings a professional background in environmental and outdoor education and a personal love for connecting with people outside that is rooted in her childhood in the woods of New Hampshire. After some scenic detours, she’s landed back in Vermont and can be found skiing up and down hills, running around in the woods, biking on tires of all sizes, being harassed by her cat, Luna, and drinking raspberry tea! Read More…

Martha resides in St Paul and lives exactly 1 mile from where she grew up.  She’s a fixture in the Minnesota biking community, so if you’ve done a race or event related to mountain biking, you’ve probably seen her there.  So say “Hi!” if you see her at one, she’d appreciate it.  Besides organizing and helping run the events, she also dabbles in the races, entering both mountain bike races in the summer and fat bike races in the winter (Minnesota, so much winter).  She sees riding/racing in -15 degrees weather with a -30 windchill as a way to push herself and her limits.  Sweet.  Martha simply loves being on her bike and sharing this love with as many people as possible, especially young girls. An encouraging, “Wooo-hooo!” is always at the ready when she sees young ladies riding and having fun.  This amazing attitude and drive to continually do what she loves, be it riding, racing, singing, or dancing even if she says she’s not the best at it, makes her perfect for the Little Bellas team.  As Martha puts it, “Just because you aren’t the most skilled at it doesn’t mean you can’t do what you love!” Read More…

Missy hails from Knoxville and lives roughly 1 mile from 70 miles of trails.  Guess where you can find Missy most of the time.  If you guessed, at fisheries trying to save imperiled fish species and the water they live in, you’d be correct!

Rachel grew up in Connecticut in a small town outside of New Haven (yes, the city with the absolute best Pizza, y’all can debate it later). Since a young age she has loved being outside in the woods. Nature is and has always been her playground – which led her to hiking and backpacking as a teen, and then graduating college with a degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism. Before Little Bellas, Rachel worked in technical operations for a cycling vacation company which helped her discover her love for two wheels. Rachel is psyched to learn, try new things, and discover new hobbies. Most days you can find her either hiking, biking, or doing pilates followed by dancing to some live music. She is always planning around food, so if you’re with her, you’ll for sure hear about what’s for dinner (or snack, or lunch, or apres). She’s also got a pretty cool mutt named Duke, also affectionately known in her house as “Stinker”. Read More…
