ALYSSA SMITH
2024 BETA Xtrainer 300
Alyssa love's some fast n flowy single track. And a good rocky climb is great for some type2 fun! Desert riding also has a piece of her heart. :)
Alyssa put it well... when you're riding, you're focused on NOT crashing.. and all other worries in life fall away.
My husband wanted to get back into riding a few years back, so I gave it a try! I now ride more than he does!

FAVORITE PLACE TO RIDE
Anywhere in the trees. I recently got to ride in Moab and wow, beautiful. Makes me want to travel more and see other areas!
GO-TO RIDING SONG
Anything up beat! Get the good vibes flowing!
RIDING MOMENT YOU'LL NEVER FORGET
I went to the Desert 100 with only having been on my bike a few times, I was barely able to do the family poker run and I told myself I wanted to race it one day... I raced the 50 mile exactly one year later and I will never forget riding up on stage at the finish knowing I checked off that goal AND beat my goal time. Best day ever!
WORST CRASH OR SKETCHY MOMENT YOU'VE EVER HAD
I am almost too cautious of a rider so luckily I haven't had any terrible crashes (knock on wood) but I do ride with people who are better than me often and they tend to put me into some sketchy places! Never by choice but I always survive! haha!!
ANY PRE-RIDE RITUALS?
Yeah, I always ask myself if I remember how to ride... the answer is always yes sometimes it just takes a few miles to remember lol
