Amanda’s experience relates to a variety of cyclists in that she has participated both as elite athlete and comeback athlete, participating in NORBA and World Cup competition but also taking off 30 pounds over two years while training around a busy work and school schedule.

Amanda is recognized as a confident public speaker and a dynamic presenter, currently teaching anatomy and physiology, health Issues, growth and motor development, and conditioning courses to undergraduate students. She also takes her show on the bike itself, teaching studio cycling classes at a local gym.

Her personal strengths include technical climbing and descending off-road, power on the flats and descending on the road. Her mountain bike racing experience also includes 24-hour and endurance racing. Around her teaching and coaching she still competes in road and off road racing, as well as the occasional running race or off-road triathlon. She recently had a baby girl.
