Athlete match: Megan Pretorius
I started off as an XC racer and have since transitioned to more enduro type events. For me the most fun is progressing your skills on a bike, scaring yourself just a little bit and pushing the limits. Some highlights of my XC career were becoming national champion in mountain bike marathon in 2016 and 2017 and competing at XC mountain bike world championships in 2018 and 2019. Stoked to help out the next generation of female mountain bikers! I wish this program had existed when I started racing 15+ years ago!
Is there anything in this upcoming season you are especially excited about?
The new Fernie Steep and Deep XC race!
