About Sarah Brunswick
If you had to describe your riding style in one word, what would it be—and why?
Smooth! (I polled my friends on this—apparently, I’m also “aggressive,” “calculated,” “awesome,” “controlled,” “fluid,” and “rad”… haha!)
What’s the best thing about mountain biking for you? What keeps you coming back for more?
The places my bike can take me! Chasing mountains is what brought me to Canada, and I love continuing to explore new terrain. I also love the physical and mental challenge, plus the incredible people I’ve met along the way. So many best things, haha!
