We’ve got episode ‘Jen Squared’ today! My guest is Jenn Minery, a mountain biking coach, gravel biking phenom, Regional Coordinator for Little Bellas, Creator-In-Chief of Indigo Sole, and Fun Team Hall of Famer...

I’m going out on a limb here with my similes, but talking to Jenn is like looking through a kaleidoscope that’s stuck in a salad spinner - she is all energy and rainbows and dynamism! Her commitment to the communities she loves shines through in her role with Little Bellas, her product company side hustle that’s designed around helping others, and her tireless efforts to bring new riders of all ages and stages into the biking fold.

Make sure to follow Jenn @MudSpeckledMin on Instagram, check out all of her fun and colorful products at Indigo-Sole.com, and last but certainly not least, head over to the Little Bellas website for more information about programs in your area that are perfect for all the 'Wild Guides In Training' you have in your life!
