Ep. 36 - Advocating for Trail Access with Emily Horridge
Description
When you have an opportunity, one that feels big and maybe even scary, just go for it. That’s what Emily Horridge did when the opportunity came to move from the UK to start skills clinics in France. And she’s been helping open up skills and doors for people ever since.
Emily (she/her/hers) discovered mountain biking back in 1992 and was smitten from day one. Emily’s life revolves around bikes, from spending her 20s racing downhill to starting her own mountain bike guiding and coaching business in her late 30s. She is passionate about inspiring and helping other women to build their confidence, overcome their fears, and truly find the joy of riding bikes.
In this episode, Emily and DZ talk about:
-
Growing up biking with the boys
-
How she started her own coaching company
-
How weight lifting has helped her on the bike
-
The work Emily is doing to help with trail advocacy
