Founder Story Mountain biking changed our lives and we want to share it with as many people as possible.
The partnership between Lindsey Richter and Meredith Brandt was developed from their combined passion for getting more women into mountain biking. With Meredith's attention to detail and ability to handle all sorts of chaos, and Lindsey's GO FOR IT attitude and deep passion, the two are quite the dynamic duo.
Fueled by a passion to grow the presence of women in mountain biking.
“We bring women of all skill levels together to improve their mountain biking skills, while we also inspire them to see how mountain biking can enhance their lives.” From this passion has grown a team of dedicated women behind the scenes and coaches who have joined in their efforts to create fun and inspiring skills camps as part of a movement to share the joys of mountain biking with more people who identify as women in this world!
Since 2010, Lindsey has been on a mission: “Change women's lives with two wheels and some dirt.” Of all her wild life experiences (like being a Reality TV star on the CBS show: Survivor) it was mountain biking that taught Lindsey life is about CREATING yourself, not finding yourself. Now as a world-renowned leader in the women's mountain bike movement, Lindsey spreads her passion for mountain biking across the globe through innovative and inspirational skills camps. Lindsey knows firsthand how mountain biking can change lives and she is a true ambassador for the sport!
Meredith is a PMBIA certified mountain bike instructor who started Grit Clinics in Bend, Oregon in 2011. Her vision was to provide women a way to learn mountain biking skills in a fun, structured and supportive environment. She wanted to eliminate the struggles she faced when she was learning to ride “by trial and error” and give women a leg up on a tricky sport. She has over a decade of mountain biking and event planning experience and is excited about the new direction Grit Clinics is taking. With some of the biggest names in coaching on her roster, Meredith has been swamped setting up custom mountain bike lessons and clinics for men, women and kids all over the world through Grit Clinics.
