Nicole Formosa

Nicole started mountain biking 10 years ago while she was living in Colorado’s high country. When the snow finally melted that July,she went to a second-hand sports store to find a distraction for the eight weeks of summer and wound up with a $200 aluminum hardtail. She fumbled her way up and down enough alpine singletrack to catch the bug, and has been riding ever since. A career journalist, she’s really pulling for the apostrophe and feels like it will regain the respect it deserves any day now.
