Last week, Women’s Adventure tested Specialized’s new women’s specific 29ers and fell in love with the Specialized Fate, a carbon fiber dream. But, we also enjoyed time on the trails with Specialized athlete Lea Davison, a 5-time national mountain bike champion and co-founder of Little Bellas (a program to help girls realize their potential through mountain biking). She offered Women’s Adventure readers her top tips to riding like a pro. Watch and learn.
Jennifer Olson, earned degrees in English and print journalism from the University of New Mexico before setting out to find new adventures—in a new town, with a new job, in a new house, exploring new trails. As the newest addition to Women’s Adventure, she feels like a natural when it comes to gear reviewing. Her work has appeared in New Mexico Magazine, in the "2010 New Mexico Vacation Guide," and on VeloNews.com, but she also served as editor in chief of her alma mater’s art and literary publication, Conceptions Southwest. Playing with magnetic poetry on her refrigerator helped Jennifer develop a philosophy by which she still lives: “If you publish a cliché, go explore real inspiration."
