Summary

Georgia Astle wasn’t really into biking as a kid; she was a hockey player. By the time high school came around, Georgia found a passion for mountain biking. In the following years she made a name for herself racing but these days, Georgia has transitioned from the race side of things to the big mountain Rampage style riding that’s she’s now for. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in Whistler, finding biking, sponsorship, gender, Rampage, and much more.
