Pro Mountain Bike Racer

A qualifier for the USA Marathon World Championship team, Krista has taken her knowledge and skills in cross-county mountain biking and passed them along to the next generation of riders, organizing kids' camping and riding weekends, maintenance and race clinics, and participating in bicycle advocacy groups and clubs.

For Krista, mountain biking extends way beyond being a sport. In the fall of 2006, she and her husband sold their house, bought a 40-foot motor home, and began touring the country on what amounts to a nationwide cycling tour. To help keep her going, Krista drinks a glass of FRS every morning, and takes chews before she gets on the bike. And if it's been a particularly tough day, she's never afraid to have another glass after her ride.
