Anne Lassere is an agented novelist and freelance writer living in Virginia. She's a mountain bike coach, guide, mechanic, wannabe sender, and frequent crasher.
In this personal essay, Anne Lassere reflects on how mountain biking has reshaped her entire social world, replacing wine tastings and trivia nights with frozen night rides, alleycat races, and a community that shows up with home-cooked meals after crashes.
