MTB Girls Digital Magazine September Issue 21 | Cover Story: Adrienne Evans-Schneider on Breaking Barriers, Finding Her Line and Never Stopping
MTB Girls Magazine Issue 21 | September 2026
What an incredible season it has been for mountain biking, and what a month of stories, inspiration, and momentum. As we move into another exciting chapter at MTB Girls Magazine, I find myself reflecting on the people, places, and experiences that make this sport so extraordinary.
This past month, we’ve celebrated the women who continue to shape mountain biking, including Adrienne Evans-Schneider, whose story is a reminder that reinvention, resilience, and a willingness to take your own line can lead to an extraordinary life on two wheels. Her journey from skiing and dirt biking to professional downhill racing and the cycling industry is a testament to what happens when you refuse to let circumstances define your limits.
We’ve also been reminded that the future of mountain biking is in very good hands. Watching young riders like Eva Komar and Will Fay take on the demanding terrain of Trione-Annadel State Park has been nothing short of inspiring. Their speed, precision, and confidence are a reminder of the next generation pushing the sport forward.
And speaking of Annadel, we’re bringing back something special. After nearly a decade-long hiatus, the Annadel Classic Revival returns November 15, 2026. Exploring the course, reconnecting with the trails, and watching riders test the short and long routes has brought back the excitement and spirit of a race deeply rooted in our local mountain biking community.
Now, as we look toward our September issue and the excitement surrounding Red Bull Rampage, we’re reminded just how far women’s mountain biking has come and how much further it can go. The progression, athleticism, creativity, and courage on display at the highest levels of the sport continue to raise the bar for everyone. As we wrap up an extraordinary year, I’m especially grateful for the athletes, industry leaders, brands, communities, and readers who continue to make MTB Girls Magazine possible. Every story we tell is part of a much bigger picture: building visibility, creating opportunities, and celebrating the women and next generation shaping the future of mountain biking.
Here’s to more adventures, bigger lines, new beginnings, and the courage to keep pushing forward.
