Week 1 Featured Guide: Scout Wellmeier
Junior Pro Champion | UCI Champion
Kicking off the summer is Scout Wellmeier, an elite-level rider known not just for her results, but for her mindset.
At just 17, Scout has already competed at the highest levels of the sport. But what makes her truly inspiring is how she approaches riding, and life.
She teaches kids that:
Confidence comes from trying, not perfection
Fear is part of growth
Progress happens when you push past comfort
