Jen Hale is a nonprofit leader and passionate mountain biker. She loves riding flowy singletrack, exploring new trails, and any path where grit meets smiles. When she’s not building systems that connect families to resources across Nebraska, you’ll find her coaching youth riders of all ages, running social media accounts, organizing group rides, or chasing dirt and gravel with friends. A mom of three and believer in snacks and sarcasm, Jen rides for confidence, connection, and the kind of joy that only comes from dusty legs and shared miles.
