Join REI for a virtual panel discussion as we celebrate Women’s History month!
Hear from former Professional Cyclist, Amber Pierce, as she sits down with our Shop Operations Coordinator and avid mountain biker, Jessie Delong.
They'll address the psychological barriers that women face while participating in a male-dominated sport.
Hear how Amber encourages healthy competition among female athletes, and how Jessie creates a positive experience on the singletrack.
Jessie discovered mountain biking shortly after moving to Colorado in 2009 and beginning her career with REI. In her 11 years with the company, Jessie has served as a Bike & Ski Shop Technician, Bike Maintenance Instructor, Mountain Bike Guide, Training Event Planner, and Shop Coordinator for Colorado’s Front Range stores. Jessie is a BICP Level 2 Certified Mountain Bike Instructor, Wilderness First Responder, and Barnett’s Bicycle Institute Certified Mechanic. Jessie’s favorite rides are in the backcountry where hours of pedaling uphill are rewarded with miles of steep and technical singletrack descending.
