Buddhas on Bikes

Owner of The Sweaty Buddha, Creator of Buddha on Bikes Retreat, mountain bike guide for the retreat, yoga & meditation instructor

My first love before hot yoga was and is mountain biking. What I found was that the relationship between the two offers a perfect blend of strength, balance, patience, endurance, and mindfulness, allowing me to take both practices to a whole new level of proficiency and precision. I am the owner of The Sweaty Buddha and a registered nurse for Denver Hospice. You can find me teaching 26 & 2 and Vinyasa classes.

She started riding mountain bikes soon after moving to Colorado in 2003, within a year she was racing. After completing a few xc races she began riding longer and found that the endurance events were where her heart truly soared. When endurance events (50-150 mile races) proved too short she dove into Bikepack racing. She completed the Colorado Trail Race (a self-supported bikepacking race from Denver to Durango) four times, once on a single-speed, twice winning the female category and twice placing second. 

Included among some of her other achievements are National Single Speed Champion 24 Hours of Moab, female winner Montezuma's Revenge 24-hour bike race including carrying your bike up a 14er, one of only two female finishers ever of The Grand Loop self-supported multi-day bikepacking race, 3 times finisher of the Kokopelli Trail Race (self-supported on the Kokopelli trail).
