Lindsey Richter is a mountain biking coach, entrepreneur, and former Survivor: Africa contestant whose journey from a hyperactive Portland kid to national advocate for women’s empowerment on bikes is anything but ordinary. After a short stint in corporate advertising and a life-changing reality TV experience, Lindsey found her true calling in the world of mountain biking.
Facing personal struggles, public scrutiny, and the emotional fallout of reality TV, she turned to riding as both healing and transformation. In 2010, she founded Ladies AllRide Mountain Bike Skills Camps, a traveling community that encourages women of all ages and backgrounds to conquer fear, build resilience, and connect through mountain biking.
Now 50, Lindsey travels the U.S. in her Sprinter van, hosting camps that focus not just on skills, but on emotional growth and self-discovery. Through her bold personality and raw honesty, she redefines what it means to age with strength and purpose—proving that challenge is where the magic happens.
