Kelly went on to be part of the Olympic Development Program and to coach D1 at Dartmouth College. Kelly has been a MTB Coach since ‘12 certified by USA Cycle and PMBIA. Kelly also is known to break a lot of bikes, it is really quite impressive. Kelly is a self proclaimed bike nerd and really understands all the mechanicals. We are so lucky to have her in our community. Our shout out goes to Kelly The Rippa and her excellent coaching platform. Kelly enjoys working with all abilities and focuses on facilitating growth with safety and fun in mind. Kelly wants to work with individuals who are apprehensive about joining a group ride or signing up for an event because they think they are “not good enough.” Kelly shares that she learned a long time ago that being a successful athlete takes a lot more than strength and stamina. It takes a belief in yourself and your preparation to reach your goals whatever they may be. Kelly offers Bike & Equipment Choice Consultation (setting your sag and adjusting your suspension to YOU), 1:1 and group Lessons, clinics, and guided rides.
