The GMNC has lost a beloved member of our community. Kristina Kittelson passed away on March 27.

Kristina served as GMNC’s membership director during the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons. She was an enthusiastic voice for GMNC and also an accomplished mountain bike racer and former director of COPMOBA.

As founder of the Singletrack & Skinny Tire Sisters of Western Colorado, Kristina served as a mentor and role model for countless cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts in the Grand Valley and beyond. You may have seen her staffing a membership table at Skyway or County Line or greeting supporters at a fundraiser event.

Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she will be missed by many.
