Joh Rathbun is a mtb coach & ride guide for RIDE ON!
Based out of Santa Cruz, California, RIDE ON! brings a supportive environment to hone your bike-handling skills!
Joh's been mountain biking since 1996, and has evolved alongside her passion. After years of racing, and a disastrous injury, she put herself through school to become a journalist. Returning back to the bike, she's taken up coaching women of all ages. Wheather it's self-reliance, like changing a flat, or perfecting your wheelie, Joh will help you get there.
“Initially, I fell into the journalism thing. I've always considered myself a writer, but wasn't published. Having a voice for women in the gravity side of cycling is important to me, and having the epiphany that half of my audience is male was joyous." After a year away from Santa Cruz, Joh was blessed to coach and guide rides for Shuttle Smith Adventures, Sacred Rides and Shine Riders. Branching out on her own with RIDE ON!, she hopes to continue to support women by teaching them "self-reliance via the bicycle."
"I realized that—over the years—the same core group of women who love the technical aspect of mountain biking were out racing and rioting. Their scars, and successes push both me, and our sport forward. I am overjoyed to join my sistas in creating the change that we want to see."
