Mike Phillips of Sportwheels has nominated our May Rider of the Month, Stacey Taylor. If her name sounds familiar, you may have read our recent message about the new Sportwheels and PedalTrout Beginner Women's Rides that Stacey will be leading every Wednesday night.

Stacey Taylor arrived in Halifax from British Columbia to attend school at Saint Mary’s University.  Although not an avid mountain biker in BC, she started attending the beginner rides held by Sportwheels and quickly fell in love with the sport. 

In 2 to 3 short years Stacey’s enthusiasm for cycling has grown in leaps and bounds.  She has evolved from a beginner rider to possessing a skill level suitable for riding Whopper and Fight Trail.  Her positive energy and ‘no fear’ attitude help her conquer the challenges of the trails ahead of her. 

This past winter she has trained hard to prepare herself for the upcoming race season.  Stacey trained while attending school and working a full time job.  She recently finished the Wolfville Roubaix and will be attending as many mountain bike races as possible. 

More important is her role on the Sportwheels weekly mountain bike rides.  Stacey’s positive, welcoming attitude helps make newcomers feel like they belong.  She embodies the true essence of what makes mountain biking so much fun.  She is a pleasure to ride with. 

Stacey is keen to try anything from trail building, riding new trails on or off road, to assisting at events. In the near future she will be hosting an introductory women’s  mountain bike ride as well. 

For her enthusiasm, energy and overall great attitude Stacey Taylor is most definitely deserving of Rider of the Month.
