Bri - Holmes Ambassador
Much of Brianna's life has been lived on two wheels. She spent her formative years terrorizing the neighborhood on a Huffy 10-speed, and her young adult years exploring all the gravel in Rothrock State Forest (long before it was the cool thing to do). Brianna bought her first road bike from Holmes in 2016 and since then has fully embraced the drop bar lifestyle. Most days you'll find her racking up tarmac miles on the West Shore, getting dusty in Michaux State Forest, or tearing up the course at a gravel or road race.
Group ride Q&A
What style of rides will you be leading/what type of bike will you be riding?
"I'll be leading weekday 'after work' road and weekend gravel rides. Both will be geared towards experienced riders looking for an energetic pace. I'm also excited to plan some ladies only rides! These will be a mix of beginner rides on the Greenbelt or one of our local rail trails, and road rides for more advanced women looking to meet and mingle with other female cyclists."
What distance and pace should people expect when they ride with you?
"Road Rides: Routes will be 30 - 40 miles; pace will vary based on the terrain, generally 16 - 18mph average.
Gravel Rides: Routes will be 35 - 50 miles; pace will vary based on the terrain, generally 11.5 - 13.5 mph average.
Beginner Ladies' Rides: Routes will be 15 - 20 miles, mostly flat terrain, and the pace will be adjusted to accommodate the slowest rider.
All of my rides will follow a "no drop" format."
How many people will be able to ride in your group?
Road Rides: Max of 8
Gravel Rides: Max of 12
Beginner Ladies' Rides: Max of 10 on the Greenbelt, but will likely allow more riders on rail trails (see specific ride postings for details)
