Project FIAS are working with MB Wales and Beicio Cymru to help make Wales a global leader for gender-inclusive mountain biking! As part of this work, we are showcasing stories where people are supporting women in mountain biking in Wales…
Meet Pippa Boss – a mountain biking inspiration from mid-Wales!
As a coach, Breeze leader, and all-around mountain biking enthusiast, Pippa is part of a supportive community for women who ride together every Friday. What started as a Facebook group has blossomed into a tight-knit group of friends who support each on and off their bikes.
Pippa also leads Breeze rides, where some of the women now confidently arrange their own group rides and enjoy other activities together like cold water swimming!
Pippa is passionate about mountain biking in the Cambrian Mountains and loves showing off her ‘patch’ to other women’s groups – recently guiding ‘Worcester Women on Wheels’ and the ‘Dirt Divas’ around the Elan Valley!
Pippa also leads other off-road adventures including bikepacking trips and night riding , encouraging more women to embrace the trails and boost their self-esteem along the way!
