OC Women’s Spotlight – Jen Gadoua
How long have you been in cycling?
I learned to ride an adaptive mountain bike in the fall of 2022.
How did you get into cycling?
I was able to attend an adaptive mountain biking (aMTB) camp in Canmore, Alberta where several women were coached in a beautiful mountain setting. I have spent the last two years riding as much as possible and learning about coaching and types of adaptive bikes to be able to offer a camp/training event in Ontario. The first event will be taking place at Long Point Eco Adventure and Turkey Point MTB Club trails May 23-25th. The event features an info session on aMTB and trails then Saturday hosts a women’s/non-binary/gender diverse supportive event followed by an all gender drop in/demo style event on Sunday for people with disabilities to try an adaptive bike. We will wrap it all up with a group ride.
What is your favorite discipline?
Adaptive MTB and Gravel.
Who is your favorite cyclist?
Sierra Roth. She’s my favourite because she was my first coach and is a trailblazer in the industry. Badass rider and an incredible human.
What has been your favorite event in 2024?
What is something you want to see in the future of cycling?
