NSP Bike Athletes just wrapped a powerful 2025 season!

From podium finishes to trail patrol, our NSP Bike Athletes brought the spirit of service and strength to every mile this summer.

Michelle McGee, Maddie Miller, and Samantha Braden tackled grueling races, mentored others, and represented NSP with heart and grit. Whether climbing 15,000 feet or coaching the next generation, they proved what it means to ride with purpose.

Huge thanks to these incredible patroller athletes for pushing limits on and off the bike.
