When a biking accident left Ezzy needing surgery on her thumb, her best pal Kelley knew exactly what she’d need… a reason to keep training.

So she nudged her to sign up for The Banana Belt.

After months of road rides, runs, and patiently working her way back, she’s finally back on the mountain bike with her people.

The race is still six weeks away, but in a lot of ways, she’s already gotten what Kelley hoped she would when she signed up. Confidence. Community. A reason to keep showing up. Now the fun stuff.

Meet Kelley and Esmeralda, long time friends and riding buddies who were selected to ride The Banana Belt as part of our “The Nudge” campaign. After a crash left Ezzy with a torn ligament in her thumb and frustrated, Kelley nudged her to apply to give her something to keep her motivated during recovery. We all need friends to help pick us up when we are down, and we are excited to share their story throughout the summer leading into the event.
