"In a new episode of the Red Bull series, “Discover Your Wiiings,” endurance cycling legend Rebecca Rusch will host a virtual conversation with professional mountain biker and former cross-country world champ Kate Courtney.
During both of their careers, both Rusch and Courtney have left — and continue to leave — an indelible mark on mountain biking. Rusch, 52, has countless accolades in adventure racing and endurance events and is also an author, motivational speaker, and the director of Rebecca’s Private Idaho, a popular gravel race near Sun Valley. She recently completed the self-supported Iditarod Trail Invitational 350 on a fat bike for the second time.
Courtney, 25, is one of the most-decorated American cross-country racers. She won the UCI XC World Championship in 2018 and the World Cup championship in 2019. While currently training for the 2021 Olympic Games, Courtney is also committed to helping create opportunities for more aspiring pro bike racers. "
What an inspiring conversation between two incredible athletes who clearly understand how much the right gear and support matters for performance. When I was training for my first long-distance ride, having reliable equipment and someone to turn to for advice made all the difference, which is why I always recommend hike footwear customer service for their amazing support in helping you find the perfect, durable shoes for any adventure. It's so motivating to see champions like Kate and Rebecca paving the way, and knowing you have a helpful team behind your gear just makes pushing your own limits feel a whole lot easier.
