ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ever wonder what actually goes into creating and maintaining the trails we love to ride?
This episode, Anna and Juli are joined by super special co-host and guest Carla Chandler to talk about what happens behind the trails—and why our local mountain bike organizations need all of us.
Carla shares her journey from mountain biker to serving on the board of her local trail organization, what she's learned along the way, and why you absolutely do not need to be an expert to get involved.
We’re talking trail building and maintenance, working with landowners, fundraising, advocacy, board life, and the countless things happening behind the scenes every time we roll onto a trail. Plus, we dig into why having women at the table matters and the unique perspectives we can bring to our local riding communities.
And here's the thing: getting involved doesn't have to mean joining a board or swinging a Pulaski. 🙌

Your trails need you and you might have more to offer than you think. 💪🚵♀️
