About Me
I’m Maiya, an elite cross-country mountain bike racer originally from California and currently based in Durango, Colorado where I attend Fort Lewis College.
I compete in Olympic cross-country (XCO) and short track (XCC) UCI mountain bike races against elite/pro level competition while balancing the demands of being a collegiate student-athlete.
Mountain biking has given me the opportunity to compete, travel, challenge myself, and continually push my limits. I am passionate about progressing in the sport to race at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup level and want to build relationships with brands/businesses that share my dedication to performance, hard work, and the mountain biking community.
As I continue developing my racing career, I am looking to partner with companies that believe in my potential and want to be a part of the journey.
