About your guide: 

Kristy Lanier started racing in 1997, turning “pro” on the mountain bike circuit in 1998.  She is a category 2 road racer and has been Hawaii state champion on both the road and the trail.  She has also done some time as a triathlete, competing in the Xterra off road triathlon series with a 9th place finish at the World Championships.

Upon moving to the mainland, Kristy continued to race pro mountain bikes ranking in the top 25 in the Norba Series.  Most recently Kristy has turned to marathon mountain bike racing and has finished in the top 5 in the nation and represented the United States at the World Marathon Championships in France in 2006.

However, if racing is not your thing and you just want to be taken on a fun ride with a good guide that knows local trails and roads, you can get that too!  Check out Dirtbean’s guided tours both instructional and leisure.  We also can provide lodging while on your journey in the BEAN MACHINE.  Check it out too!  Custom Tours available, just ask!  Due to your guides race schedule advance notice and reservations highly recommended.
