Meet Your Coach

Katrina Strand

Katrina is the kind of coach who makes you feel comfortable the moment you hit the trail together. A highly accomplished rider with years of coaching and racing experience, she has a gift for helping riders build confidence, ride smarter, and have more fun — all without making it feel intimidating. Whether you're working through technical features, finding more flow, or pushing your riding to the next level, her patient, positive style meets you where you are. She celebrates the small wins, knows when to challenge you, and always creates an atmosphere where learning feels natural.

We're incredibly excited to have Katrina coaching with Meraki. Her passion for mountain biking, love of adventure, and genuine commitment to helping others perfectly match what our trips are all about. By the end of the week you'll leave not only a stronger rider, but with unforgettable memories, new friends, and a whole new level of confidence on the bike.

"A comfortable, supportive environment to tackle fears and build real skills."
