RAR Moab

While Moab is widely known as a world-class destination for mountain biking, it is not necessarily known for its friendliness to beginners or mellow enthusiasts, nor for its inclusivity and diversity.

Our RAR chapter was born out of a desire to help create an inclusive and supportive community here and to connect rural riders from the greater Four Corners area. We have all enjoyed organizing and participating in femme-led bike outings and look forward continuing to grow an intentional and welcoming cycling community in the Four Corners region.

Makeda

Makeda (she/her) is a Midwest transplant to Moab and has called this valley home since 2017. Originally drawn to Moab as a climber, Makeda became involved in the Moab bike community in the Fall of 2019 and hasn’t stopped pedaling since. Whether it’s coordinating bikepacking trips with FTW individuals in the area, helping with community bike maintenance events, or goofing around on the trail, she wants to foster a space where everyone can enjoy themselves on two wheels. When she’s not biking or working for a local nonprofit, Makeda can be found making art, sewing clothes, and running around in the desert.

Paige

Paige (she/her): I have lived in Moab since 2011 and currently work as a bike mechanic at both a shop and for a race team.  I love biking for all the reasons…but mostly health, happiness, and friendship.  It inspires an endless quest for improvement and adventure.  I enjoy teaching women bike maintenance skills and in general helping folks get on bikes and keep them working well.
