Shaymora Blanks

My name is Shay Blanks, and cycling has been a true passion of mine for over five years. It truly saved my life! Many years ago I found myself at one of the lowest points in my life. I was incredibly unhappy, disappointed in my career trajectory that I had spent over ten years building, in a dead end relationship with a man who constantly dimmed my light, and I was more than 40lbs overweight. I knew I needed to make a change, but I had no idea where or how to start. One day a friend convinced me to try a cycling class, and I was instantly hooked! I started cycling regularly, and soon began to find the strong, confident and capable woman I had lost. I shed the weight, the relationship and found to courage to move my career in the right direction. I became a cycling instructor because it helped me find my way in life again, and I want to help others do the same, wherever they are in their journey.
