Mountain Goat Adventures

My husband and I founded Mountain Goat Adventures in 2010 and strive to provide memorable, exciting events that promote an active lifestyle. As a racer myself, I know what aspects of racing events are the most frustrating when not handled properly, so I've made it my mission to put together events that offer a great experience, reasonable event pricing, as well as a high level of organization and efficiency at each event. Goat Adventures also offers specialized coaching and private instruction in mountain biking, road cycling, cyclocross, adventure racing, navigation, and traiMountainl running. Graduating with highest honors from Georgia Tech in 2000, I worked full time as a civil engineer while juggling a heavy training and racing schedule. I entered the professional mountain bike ranks in 2004 after just 2.5 years of racing. In 2006, I discovered a new addiction, Adventure Racing, and have competed in and won dozens of multisport races ranging from 3 hours to 5 days. Still competing in cycling events and adventure races, I have recently added trail running into the mix over the past three years. My passion for athletics, competition and the outdoors led to my voluntary resignation from the engineering profession and the creation of Mountain Goat Adventures. Following my vision to produce the types of events that I would personally like to compete in, Mountain Goat Adventures will bring racers to 8 exciting venues in 2012. The creation of Mountain Goat Adventures has allowed me to share my passion with like minded people, as well as given me a chance to really give back to the organizations that provide some of the best trail systems in the Northwest Metro Atlanta area. Between myself, my family members, and some great volunteers, we have logged dozens of hours of trail maintenance in conjunction with our events. In 2012, we have already raised $10,000 in donations for SORBA Woodstock in conjunction with our events and have been able to support SORBA Atlanta, Run Cobb and local Boy Scout Troop 241. We are also sponsoring the Sorella Cycling Club and Race Team for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Thanks for reading and we hope to see you at some of our events!
