My daughter loves bikes, end of story. She is 12 and racing downhill on the BC cup. A lot of people don't have the guts to sign up for a race and get into the starting gate, thats fine, each to their own, but she likes it. The people around Kamloops riding the trails are awesome. They look out for her on the trail, give advice, lend a hand. Dylan who owns Mostly Mental has been really good getting her out riding downhill,coaching. The Bicycle Cafe is an awesome shop and and it doesn't matter who you are, they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. Its a good thing to have more girls riding downhill, freeriding, xc. You would have to be pretty insecure to slag anyone who wants to ride, guy or girl, and unless we have seen your name beside Matt Hunters or Steve Peat then its pretty safe to say your just a regular guy out enjoying the mountains.
