Samantha Olson

Meet Fearless Women of Dirt Ambassador, Samantha Olson! Samantha resides in  Star Prairie, WI.

My name is Samantha Olson and I have been mountain bike racing for the past decade. Aside from the immense health benefits (cycling helped me lose 100+ lbs) and the excitement of competition (finally something I am good at!) - I love biking because of the unique experience you can have. If you want to be alone and be one with the woods and the trail - you can be.

If you want to be surrounded by people and chat the whole way - you can! It is your ride and you can make of it what you want.

Some days you're on the podium and some days you're finishing at the back of the pack. Regardless - it is the high of a lifetime when you've got rubber on dirt...or snow!

I'm excited to be a part of FWD because anything Josie Smith takes on has a positive impact in our cycling community. Much like my fellow ambassadors, I have a lot of stories, lessons learned, and expertise to offer. But my biggest contribution will be encouraging and motivating others to get out and ride - because we all need that uplifting and empowering spirit to keep us on the path.
