Welcome to the single tracks podcast. I'm Leah Barber and today I have a special episode with

professional mountain bike racer and Olympian Chloe Woodruff.

Chloe Woodruff is from Prescott, Arizona, and owns and rides for the Stans Pivot Pro Team presented by Maxis.

She has raced a cross-country discipline in 10 world championship teams as a junior, under 23 athlete, and an elite racer. She was also one of just

two women mountain bike racers who represented the United States in the 2016 Rio Olympics. I met up

with Chloe in Sedona at Rome Bike Fest, a women's mountain bike festival to talk about racing,

the Olympics, and learn her

realistic approach to goal setting. Chloe, how did you get started mountain biking?

Well, that was many, many years ago at this point.

But you look so young. It couldn't have been that long. Thank you. Back, gosh, in like

1999, maybe. Okay. So I was first introduced to mountain biking

in middle school. My seventh grade teacher's husband, his name's Leonard Zinn. He works for

Velo News. And he organized a class trip to Moab, Utah,

which, and so actually one of my first mountain biking experiences was in Moab, which is a pretty

amazing thing. That's awesome. That sounds like an awesome field trip. Yeah, and as a class assignment

afterwards, I had to write a personal narrative about the experience.

And I still have that.
