ep. 78 Will you be my Mentor?

Think about the rider who first made you believe you could.

Maybe they waited patiently while you figured out that intimidating climb. Maybe they talked you through your first rock roll. Maybe they simply smiled at the trailhead and made you feel like you belonged. This episode is dedicated to those people.

We're sharing the mentors who shaped our riding journeys, the lessons we'll never forget, and why the best mentors aren't always the fastest riders—they're the ones who build confidence, celebrate small wins, and remind us that it's okay to walk a feature.

Because mentoring isn't about creating stronger riders...

It's about creating riders who stick with the sport, lift others up, and eventually become mentors themselves.

💚 This month's challenge: Mentor one rider.
🚲 Invite someone on a ride.
⛰️ Wait at intersections.
🙌 Celebrate progress over perfection.
✨ Be the rider someone remembers.

The trails aren't just built by trail crews, they're built by the people who help others fall in love with mountain biking.

A huge shout-out to every GLOW rider who encourages, supports, cheers, laughs, and shows up for one another. You are what makes this community so special.

🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and if someone helped you become the rider you are today, send them a message and say thank you.

Ride kind. Ride curious. Keep the stoke rolling. 💚🚵‍♀️
