In this episode of the Femme Cyclist podcast, we're diving deep into the mental side of cycling with sport psychologist Dr. Erin Ayala. In our chat, Erin shares invaluable insights on some of the biggest challenges we face as cyclists, from that pesky habit of comparing ourselves to others to finding the motivation to train.
We also tackle the topic of burnout and how to strike a bike-life balance, so that cycling remains a source of joy, not stress. Erin's down-to-earth advice will help you set realistic goals, get up the courage to sign up for that race, and keep pushing forward even when th ..read more

This is my family's first year as part of NICA. (For those that don't know, NICA--aka the National Interscholastic Cycling Association--is an organization that gets middle school and high school kids together in a team environment to ride and race mountain bikes). My husband and I are coaching, and our 6th grade son is a student athlete.
In just a few months of being on a team (go Boise Brave!), we caught the NICA bug. It's a fantastic organization that promotes fun, inclusivity, equity, respect, and community!
So obviously, I was very excited to sit down with Amanda Carey for this inter ..read more

If you're anything like me, you LOVE getting out on the bike but maybe you don't like strength training quite as much. But the unfortunate truth is that we NEED to be doing strength training in addition to riding our bikes.
In this podcast interview, I chat with Bekah Rottenberg about why strength training needs to be a non-negotiable part of our routine. Bekah, who is a mountain bike skills coach and strength training coach, likes to say "you can't be strong on the bike until you get strong off the bike."
She shares the different types of movements we should be doing, common myths aroun ..read more

You might know Jess Hana from her wildly popular and hilarious Instagram account @jessthemaker. Her funny and relatable mountain bike videos poke fun at herself and at mountain biking culture as a whole.
In this podcast interview, I chat with Jess about how she got started making videos, her creative process, and her life in Bentonville.
But my favorite takeaway from our conversation, is the sense that Jess is living (and making a living) as her authentic self. The person you see in her videos is who she really is: a funny, slightly goofy gal who loves mountain biking. We could al ..read more
