Jess is the resident mountain bike junkie. She can out-ride the guys and never tires of mountain bike jabber. She lived just outside Chicago for many years before relocating to California, where she down-hilled without fear. She now permanetly resides in good ole St. Louis where she is nearing her fourth year here at Maplewood. If you need someone to hit the trail with, to build you a guitar, or just grab a margarita, Jess is the gal for it.
A few questions for Jess:
1.) What kind of bike do you ride? A Lynskey 29er, a Trek EX9, and a Surly Crosscheck
2.) What is the most rewarding aspect of riding a bike? The perma grin.
3.) What's the gnarliest crash you've ever had? I crashed on a 22 foot stepdown.
4.) If you could take a bike trip anywhere, where would it be? Peru.
5.) What has made cycling better for you this past year? Nothing can make it better, it's already too awesome!
