Julia Musto

Hey there, my name is Julia and I reside in Johnson, Vermont. I just moved to Vermont after spending 10 years out in the Rocky Mountains and am beyond thrilled to start exploring this incredible state on two wheels. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and my biking experience as a child consisted of wobbling down the road to the ice cream shop all summer on an oversized hardtail with my best neighborhood friend. Fast forward to 2017 living in Carbondale, Colorado and I found myself in a similar scenario - wobbling down a single-track bike trail on an oversized hardtail. From that point forward I was hooked. After immersing in the mountain bike community out in Colorado and Moab for a number of years, I was ready to make a move back to New England to be closer to family. I’m really looking forward to exploring the trails and diving into the community here in Vermont, especially meeting more woman on bikes! When I’m not out on my bike you can typically find me on the edge of a river, fly fishing with my dog.
