We hope everyone is enjoying the festivities and the stoke with Crankworx in full swing this week! It's an awesome time of year to be part of the mountain bike world, and the energy around the trails is contagious.
As we turn the corner toward the final stretch of the season, it's a great time to reflect on how far we've come—and to pace ourselves for the finish. A marathon, not a sprint, our work demands consistent energy, care, and strategy all the way through. With just a few weeks left, let's stay focused on maintaining that steady momentum.
Hydration, rest, and recovery are just as important now as ever. As athletes and leaders, staying sharp both mentally and physically is what helps us show up strong each day. So take the time to fuel up, recharge, and support one another as we bring the season to a close.
- Sarah & Nadio!

Farewell & Congratulations, Chantel! |
Today, we say goodbye (for now) to someone who has had an incredible impact on our Bike School team — Chantel!
Chantel has officially accepted an exciting new role with our Wellness Team, where she’ll continue to pursue her passion for health, balance, and supporting others — something she has already championed so strongly within our Bike School community.
From elevating our preseason training to bringing a powerful focus on self-care and well-being for our coaches, Chantel has helped shape Mini Shredders into more than just a program — she’s helped build a culture. Her leadership, passion, and dedication to our riders and coaches have been truly inspiring.
Her last official day with Bike School is today, but don’t worry — you’ll still see her around, riding her bike, cheering us on, and supporting the resort through her new role.
We’re beyond proud of Chantel and so excited for what’s ahead for her. Her future is bright, and we know she’s going to make a huge impact in her new position — just like she has here.
And no matter where her path takes her, Chantel will always have a home with the Bike School team. 💛
Please join us in wishing her all the best!

As Crankworx draws to a close, training will re-commence for the end of August and into September. With courses happening in September, there are some prep sessions being offered for both L2 Air and Tech. Be sure to check out the calendar for the latest sessions and to sign-up.
Hope that you will join us for the first ever Bike School Panel session - a new take on the Safety Reset - followed by a BBQ feast.
See you there,
-Meesh and the Training Team
