We’ve got some photos for ya! 📸 Free to download. Link in bio.

Heads up, these are from our marketing photographer, but next year we’re aiming to have someone out there capturing more of your grins. Maybe ripping down Rainbow trail with that perfect morning light? 🤤 Because these trails are too good not to send you home with a picture you can share. All photos: 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑

She did it! After being sidelined earlier this season, Ezzy (with Kelley’s nudge and support) stayed motivated and consistent and finished the Banana Belt with a tired smile 🙂 A little encouragement and accountability goes a long way when setting lofty goals. Way to go you two!

Packing for the weekend and not sure what to wear? Banana Belt is all about throwing it back to the early days of mountain biking, before aero helmets and nano-waxed chains. So consider throwing a party shirt in your bag, we’ve heard what it costs in aerodynamics, it makes up for 2x in fun-factor. photos: 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑

When a biking accident left Ezzy needing surgery on her thumb, her best pal Kelley knew exactly what she’d need… a reason to keep training.

So she nudged her to sign up for The Banana Belt.

After months of road rides, runs, and patiently working her way back, she’s finally back on the mountain bike with her people.

The race is still six weeks away, but in a lot of ways, she’s already gotten what Kelley hoped she would when she signed up. Confidence. Community. A reason to keep showing up. Now the fun stuff.

Meet Kelley and Esmeralda, long time friends and riding buddies who were selected to ride The Banana Belt as part of our “The Nudge” campaign. After a crash left Ezzy with a torn ligament in her thumb and frustrated, Kelley nudged her to apply to give her something to keep her motivated during recovery. We all need friends to help pick us up when we are down, and we are excited to share their story throughout the summer leading into the event.
