Enduro, Cross-country & Cyclocross

Age: 14

Hometown: West Kelowna

Mentor match: Helena Coney

Hi my name is Brooke Bates. I am 14 years old and live in West Kelowna B.C. and ride for Okanagan Bike and Ski. This is my third season with Ride Like a Girl.  I love XC, enduro and cyclocross racing, but I also love long training adventures. My goals for this year are to have fun, race hard and compete confidently. I have a busy race schedule that includes many XCO Canada Cups, some Canadian Enduro Series races, as well as a full cyclocross schedule that finishes off at Nationals. Last year I was able to win the BC Provincial title in cyclocross and take home third place at nationals which were my best results!  When I am not riding I love Downhill skiing and doing cross fit. I am super excited to ride with Helena and learn how to be a fierce competitor just like her!
