Emily Schaldach lives in Reno, Nevada - a town that confuses people who drive through and welcomes people with open arms when they stop for a moment. With Tahoe and the Sierras just a skip away, a rapidly growing cycling community, and a fair share of bizarre sights, this place is full of opportunity. Emily races CX and has spent years racing mountain bikes, she finished 2nd at the Single Speed CX National Championships as well as the Single Speed CX World Championships (the rowdy version) and won a dozen or so national titles while in college. Emily works at a coffee shop, writes often, goes on notably short walks with her old dog, and revels in how lovely it is to live with her best friend, Johanne.
Emily’s writing work has been published on GearPatrol, Experience Life Magazine, and the Dirtbag Diaries. Emily’s bike has taken her on a five week bikepack in Alaska, to races all over the country, and on a six month stint in Peru. She’s got stories, snacks, and lots of excitement to share. Welcome!
