Anita Townsend
Anita is a self-proclaimed county girl, hailing from Inola. She added cycling to her running training in 2019, and quickly realized how much more fun bikes are! She is both a roadie and a mountain biker, but these days you’ll usually find her shredding at Turkey Mountain or Claremore trails instead of on her road bike. She thrives on conquering new bike challenges, and recently discovered the thrill of downhill mountain bike parks. She is avidly checking out new bike trails and taking mountain bike skills clinics around the country.
