Karen Ward, Owner and Head Coach.

Karen loves coaching others to reach their potential, whether on or off the bike. As a certified executive coach Karen focuses on supporting her clients to move beyond mental barriers in order to reach their goals. On the bike, Karen does the same with her new mountain bike clients. By building a solid foundation, she is able to support riders to progress quickly in a safe learning environment.

Karen started Mountain Biking in 2004 and is passionate about creating a fun learning environment for new riders. Mountain biking can be exhilarating, scary and fun all at the same time and Karen’s goal is to build a program where riders can advance at their own pace while receiving the support they need to build confidence on the trail. She does this by offering small group lessons, clear instruction, and listening carefully to her clients. Shredher Mountain Biking, is a boutique coaching business, that offers clients video feedback and written follow ups to lessons to support their progression.
