Janet has been involved with Trek Dirt Series for 13 years, a Whistler-based instruction weekend program for mountain bikers, and the Devon Bears, a youth mountain biking program out of Devon with the Devon Bicycle Association.

This firecracker makes biking fun! A mum (to 2 adult boys!), a realtor, flight attendant and a fun-spirit, Jodi has a supportive, infectious personality to help you through challenges on the trail and in between our ears. She’s been biking on her home trails in Terwillegar for over a decade and has always been active - always trying new things.  Jodi has had six years with her Professional Mountain Biking Instruction (PMBI) Level 1 certification, and has been with SheShreds working with our beginner and intermediate riders, building confidence in our members every week.

As a kid, Courtney loved a good bike ride and nothing has really changed since. Not realizing just how many kinds of bikes there were, Courtney has tried them all: road, cross, mountain and cruise. Narrowing it down, mountain biking and a good cruise is where it's at. Knowing how it is to try something new with people that are way better than you, Courtney has a soft spot for newbies that are dipping their toe into the bike pool. She has been involved in multiple sports growing up (from karate, to gymnastics, to dance, to soccer, to snowboarding, to volleyball) so you can see that she loves trying new things and is always a positive support bra for others doing the same. Courtney is a recently certified PMBI Level 1 Moutain Bike Coach and looks forward to getting you ready for the trails. 

Bio Coming Soon....

Cate has been mountain biking for a few years and absolutely fell in love with the sport and the local MTB community. Cate is known for helping bikers find riding buddies, and she’s crazy encouraging when you’re out on the trails with her. When winter comes, she doesn’t want to stop, and you can find her shredding the trails in sub-zero temperatures with the biggest smile on her face. Cate is a PMBI Level 1 certified coach, and when she’s not coaching, she is out riding. She is not afraid to take on big challenges – ask her about the time she biked across Canada. Guaranteed to be a wheelie fun coach, and she’ll even try not to re-cycle her puns. Fork yeah!

Katie is a Level 1 PMBI certified instructor, former She Shreds Shredders Leader, and super obsessed trail dog mom. There is nothing that fires Katie up more than the opportunity to spread the love of biking to those around her, and with many years of snowboard instructing in her back pocket - you can rest assured that Katie’s energy and passion will translate to her coaching. We are so lucky to have Katie hanging with our Bike School riders this season!

After her second(!) ACL surgery, Emma ditched her soccer cleats for some sturdy mountain bike shoes and never looked back. She holds a Level 1 PMBIA coaching certification and is stoked to teach skills so more people can become empowered by this exciting, challenging, and totally rewarding sport. If you’re a bit nervous or aren’t 100% sure about pointing your bike downhill just yet, Emma provides a supportive introduction — having recently completed a wild adventure amongst the janky terrain of Peru, she's more than willing to discuss pushing your limits to break through the "fear barrier"! When she's not fastidiously cleaning her bike(s), Emma enjoys investigating new locations for downhill, cross-country, and gravel riding to enjoy with her wife and friends throughout Alberta and British Columbia.

Dee has been riding the river valley since 2008 and holds a PMBI Level 1 certification. With a background in downhill racing (pssst - she was the 2019 National DH Master’s women champ), backcountry snowboarding and triathlons, Dee realized that something was missing in Edmonton’s bike community: education-based women’s-specific group ride; so she did something about it and SheShreds came to life!  Along with her work with Trek Bikes, Dee also coaches for Dirt Series, a Whistler-based instruction weekend program for mountain bikers, coaching riders from all over Canada and the US. Dee has moved on to focusing on new endeavors but still available to coach with SheShreds. 

Kristin comes by her outdoor spirit honestly having grown up as a nationally ranked FIS downhill ski racer.  Shortly after meeting her now husband of 25 years, she was introduced to mountain bikes. She dabbled for many years until she became involved with a women’s weekly ride group. Riding with other ladies grew her love and joy of mountain bikes and now it is a part of who she is.  She first received her Level 1 PMBIA certification in 2015 primarily to improve her own riding.  And later discovered she enjoyed coaching others and watching them fall in love with mountain biking.  She believes that building a strong foundation of skills in mountain biking is powerful in ensuring safe and confident riding.

Robyn is a positive and supportive coach who prioritizes creating a fun and safe learning environment for riders to explore new challenges. When she's not ripping through the trails, you can find Robyn pounding the pavement for a run, hiking with her furry friend, or simply unwinding with a good book on the couch.
