Mtb Grrrl

Bienvenue - Welcommen - Jassou - Benvenuto - Aloha - Namaste - Oi!
I'm an entrepreneur, passionate mountain biker, and believe we create our existence.

We are responsible for and create the world around us.
I have been mountain biking (henceforth referred to as "mtb") for 3 years and definitely fall into the "addict" category. I love downhill and catching air - It's like flying! I belong to two mountain bike clubs and am on the trail as much as possible - Can you say, "Road Trip?!" Vail via Moab, Fruita (and maybe Tahoe) are among rides on our extensive mtb/road trip list for Summer '08. I love a good road trip and biking adventure with my boyfriend, JD. I also enjoy meeting other like minded souls who share my love and passion for fat tires and what we we so lovingly refer to as “Singletrack.”
I have 2+ years of mtb video uploaded for the benefit of those wanting to scope 'em out. If you enjoy these videos – awesome, dude! They are comprised of trails that I've ridden with mtb partners on trails around the PacNW. I was more of a beginner when we got our helmet cams; JD had been riding for 21+ years. For that reason, you'll see a variety of trail and skill level - nice for folks just starting out or more advanced riders. I'm not a mud fan, so you will not see much of it in my clips. Not the best thing for the trail either.

If you don't like the clips: Sorry. Buy your own helmet cam and post them on your own site. This is "My"space, not "Your"space!

Beginners: Don't be shy - just "GO!" If you don't try, you never will. Everyone was a beginner once. Wipe-outs, hike-a-bike? No worries! You can't improve if you're not reaching. I've been very fortunate to ride with riders who are much farther advanced than myself. Riding with them has been my inspiration to try and try again (thanks, guys). My scabby legs are my price of admission. I love collecting my first bruises of the season! LOL! Life is amazing!
I have recently launched my third business ...
'cause 'ya know one's just not enough - lol!
My Biz#1:
My day job that I love
I am the Principal of a boutique group of recruiters specializing in Manufacturing Professionals and Manufacturing opportunities across the United States. Most of our clients are industry leaders in Steel, Specialty Metals, and Glass.

I work with companies to find Manufacturing Professionals who think out of the box and take their company to the next level. We specialize in finding "C" and "V" level professionals as well as senior engineers and plant level management. We are the first company manufacturing Professionals call when they're looking to make a move or acquire new talent. I love helping my people and companies grow!

The people I work with are on a mission to take their business to the next level.
If that's you we'd probably get along well.

My Biz#3:
My fun creative outlet ('cause I need more ...)
This has been a simmering thought for over a year. The primary line is comprised of Retro-Americana black and white images. I am fortunate that my family seemed to have a camera with them wherever they went -- and loved snapping away. I had started making my own greeting cards out of them. They were so popular that I created Bella Art.
Being an Mtb Grrl, I decided having a line of mountain bike art would be totally gnar dude, so along came Mountain Bike Girl Art for my brothers and sistahs of the Fat Tire. All of the images are original photographs by yours truly: Mtb Grrrl. I even have items geared towards the cyclists-in-training (wheels, that is!).
All of the cards, t-shirts, buttons, bike bags, etc. are works in progress. They are updated often, so please keep checking back! Let me know if you'd like a custom item (i.e. Your image!). If you commit to it, I will make it happen for you.
For retro-Americana items, please visit us at Bella Art!
