Georgia Gould
Velo News 2007 North American Female Cyclist of the Year
Georgia exploded onto the mountain bike scene with a win at the 2006 U.S. National Mountain Bike Championships. She followed that up by steamrolling the competition in 2007, winning the season-opening Pan American Championship, the Sea Otter Classic and every cross-country race in the U.S. National Mountain Bike series, capping off the year with an overall win in the USGP Cyclo-cross series. She also made her first podium in a European World Cup race; an incredible accomplishment considering it was her first year of World Cup racing.
Georgia grew up in Baltimore, attended boarding school at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Montana.
A few random questions...
What is your secret to having a good race?
"Staying positive even when bad things happen. Some of the races I'm most proud of are not races I've won, but races where I didn't give up when faced with a big challenge."
What is your single most memorable race experience?
"Winning the National Championships in 2006. I surprised myself, and it was a great feeling."
What is your favorite LUNA flavor?
"The new Berry Almond LUNA bar is the best — it's tangy and delicious, and I can feel all the antioxidants hard at work doing whatever it is that antioxidants do..."
Anything else to say?
"My teammates teach me a lot and are always willing to share their insights and knowledge. I am proud to be on the LUNA Team for 2008."
