Cody Shimizu: Rampage Coach

Cody is originally from Edmonton and moved to Canmore to chase some of the amazing trails the area has to offer. He was competitively racing cross-country and cyclocross in his junior days with the odd road race here and there. After following the cyclocross and cross-country racing for a while he started riding more for the adventure of cycling, from chasing some amazing trails apart of some enduro races to bike packing trips along Alberta and BC. He just finished his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology after working a winter with the Rocky Mountain Adaptive race team. When he isn’t coaching you can find him climbing, skiing or shooting some photos!
As you can see from the photo, his roots are definitely in cross country, full face bare knees kind of guy.

Danielle Leger: Rampage Coach

Danielle and her partner got motivated to do more mountain biking while ski patrolling in New Brunswick. They moved out to the Rockies in 2018 to live a more active lifestyle. Danielle was amazed to see so many passionate female riders and blown away by their strength! She took some lessons to improve her own skill and got out riding every chance she could. It was during covid that she decided to take her PMBIA and get involved in coaching mountain biking….she wanted to help others have as much fun on their bikes as she had on hers. Last year she shadowed some other instructors and did some coaching with cycling 101.  We are excited to have Danielle join our Rampage coaching team and she is looking forward to helping young rampage riders have fun on their bikes while gaining more skills and confidence on the trails.
