Molly grew up in central Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and started mountain biking in high school.  In college, she fell in love with endurance sports, outdoor adventure, and the American west. Ultimately, a lifestyle of adventure and endurance pursuits defined her 15+ years of living all over the west and in Alaska.  

In 2018, Molly moved back east to be closer to her family and her roots.  Exploring mid-Atlantic gravel has been essential to cultivating her “sense of place” on the East Coast and rekindling the adventurous spirit of her wild western days.
