MTB TRIBE PODCAST

Hannah Harvey

On episode #94 it is my pleasure to get Hannah Harvey on the podcast. We had been chatting back and forth for a number of weeks before we could get this to happen. Hannah is a super busy girl. She works full time and has a very busy schedule so it was great Hannah could find the time and come on the show. Hannah has not been riding that long but she has made a real impact since she got the racing bug and normally can be found standing on the podium at the end of the day. Hannah’s racing did not start the way she wanted, she had a hard crash resulting in an injury that put her out for a while before she decided to start racing again.
