I first interviewed Lindsey Richter five years ago and that podcast episode became one of the most popular that I've ever done. Much like anyone who has ever been to one of Lindey's Ladies All Ride skills camps, listeners of that episode immediately fell in love with her.So obviously, I was super excited to have Lindsey back on the podcast a second time. Lindsey is now 50 and stronger and wiser than ever. She just returned from leading an all-women train down A-Line at Crankworx Whistler, and she continues to help other women develop the same confident, bad-ass energy that she embodies.In this interview, we talk about mountain biking as we get older, but this episode is also for anyone who's ever ridden a mountain bike or would like to get on a mountain bike.

A question I frequently hear from many of my female coaching clients is, "What supplements do you take?" This is one I hesitate to answer because supplements are very individualized. Several of the supplements I take are based on bloodwork identifying things I'm deficient in. That said, there are several supplements that *most* female cyclists can benefit from taking, and there are a few others that *many* other folks may be deficient in. 🔥 50% off training plans with coupon code PODCAST50. 👉 https://shop.femmecyclist.com/product-category/training-plans/⭐ Our favorite electrolytes👉 https://www.femmecyclist.com/hydration-drink-mixes-for-cycling/Full Show Notes: https://www.femmecyclist.com/supplements-cyclists/❤️ Join Kristen & The Femme Cyclist Community➡︎ Website: https://femmecyclist.com➡︎ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/femmecyclist➡︎  Instagram:  https://instagram.com/femme_cyclist  ➡︎   Facebook: https://facebook.com/femmecyclist  Support the show👉Instagram: @femme_cyclist👉Website: https://femmecyclist.com

It always makes me sad 😢 when I hear folks tell me that they don’t have friends to ride with or are struggling to find a bike community to be a part of. And I relate—I’ve moved cities multiple times in my adult life, and have had to start over finding bike friends. 👯‍♀️The good news is that female cyclists are the kindest, most welcoming women I’ve ever met.

This is my family's first year as part of NICA. (For those that don't know, NICA--aka the National Interscholastic Cycling Association--is an organization that gets middle school and high school kids together in a team environment to ride and race mountain bikes).
