Flow MTB 2018 Rider Profile: Rebecca Smith

Flow MTB Rider Rebecca Smith Pearce Downhill Series Bucknell

I work full time in a busy professional office but in my spare time I travel around the UK and World having adventures! I race downhill mountain bikes, climb mountains, enjoy the outdoors and can’t wait to get involved in pretty much any kind of muddy adventure.

I’m passionate about increasing women’s participation in riding and have helped out at a number of local women’s events this year. Many women start riding at a more mature age and it is great to help them get started in local races. I’m keen to show people that you are never too old to start and you can race at the weekend around a full time job.

I’m hoping to get tickets for the Pearce Downhill Series over the summer and some of the national British Downhill Series.
I’ve managed to get tickets for the ‘Ard Rock Enduro and the dual slalom and downhill events at the Malvern Festival.
