The Highs and Lows of World Enduro – Gowaan Gals

December 17, 2024

Today, we’re joined by the Gowaan Gals, Bex Baraona and Chloe Taylor, two of the most inspiring and down-to-earth riders in the mountain bike scene. We’ll be hearing about the ups and downs of their last couple of seasons. From the highs of race wins, to the lows of being dropped from a pro team, it’s an honest reflection on the challenges of racing. But the well trodden path is not for everyone and Bex and Chloe are proving that with their unique approach. From racing to community building, these two are all about making mountain biking fun and accessible for everyone. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with the Gowaan Gals, Bex Baraona and Chloe Taylor.

You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.
