Jessica started mountain biking in 2006 in Park City, UT. She started by chasing her friends and learned over time the value of skill development as she struggled to keep up on rides with her more experienced friends. Her beginnings motivated her to learn more and share her knowledge with other new and experienced mountain bikers. While in Park City Jessica was invited to join a women’s only club as a guide and she was a ride lead a local Salt Lake City mountain bike group that is still in operation today. Since moving to Colorado, she has continued to improve her mountain bike skills. She has volunteered for Little Bellas as mentor and the Colorado Cycling League as a high school mountain biking coach. She spends her free time on our local trails training for cross country races and riding with her two young sons and friends. Even though she’s been mountain biking for years, she remembers what it felt like to be new to the sport and enjoys teaching riders the fundamentals of mountain biking.

Chris’ passion for mountain biking began at the age of 13 when he competed in his first mountain bike race in Georgia. He has been biking ever since and just can’t get enough miles in. As an avid mountain biker, Chris was a founding member of the largest social mountain biking group in Salt Lake City. His vision for Rocky Mountain Biking was born out of his love for sharing the sport with others, leading group rides and teaching skills. Chris founded Rocky Mountain Biking as an adventure/touring business in Park City, Utah in 2009. He continued the company Lakewood after moving to Lakewood, Colorado. He was a NICA Certified Coach and enjoyed coaching our local high school mountain biking team for many years.
