Crystal Anthony has been racing professionally for nearly a decade in cyclocross, mountain bike and gravel. With 21 UCI cyclocross wins, her transition to mountain bike racing came naturally. Today, in addition to racing in her fourth season of the Lifetime Grand Prix (where she currently sits in 15th), she shares her knowledge and experience with others through her coaching business (www.crystaljanthonly.com) as well as leading women's rides and clinics in her hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas with Women of Oz. www.woznwa.com. Today she shares a bit of her background as well as ways we can all support and encourage more women to join the fun of mountain biking!
