Jeanie Bihlmaier has 12 years of experience in endurance sport training and competition. She began recreational mountain biking in 1994, moving to mountain bike racing for four years before transitioning into adventure racing in 1999.  After completing the adventure race icons Eco Challenge 2001 and Primal Quest 2002 she turned to road racing.  She currently races as a Category 2 on the road and in the Expert mountain bike category and was awarded Oregon Best All Around Road Rider for 2006.

Jeanie likes a hands-on approach and has coached novice and master’s women road racers as well as mentoring the novice women’s category at local races.  She understands and has personally dealt with the demands of working and raising a family in addition to training and racing. Jeanie enjoys helping busy individuals achieve their goals whether they include racing competitively or riding recreationally.

In 2008 Jeanie raced a full season on the track, including races such as American Velodrome Challenge in San Jose, FIAC Six Day National Championships, Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge, FSA Grand Prix and the US Elite National Championships. At the FIAC Six Day National Championships she and her teamate took 2nd overall. She also had top ten finishes at the American Velodrome Challenge, Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge and FSA Grand Prix.

Having trained through pregnancy for the extreme adventure race Eco Challenge, Jeanie understands how physical activity can benefit childbirth and facilitate recovery afterward.  She also overcame a serious knee injury she sustained while skiing in early 2005 and was able to race competitively later that year.  That experience made her realize that hard-work, dedication, and a positive attitude can help you overcome even the biggest challenges. 

Jeanie lives in Vancouver with her husband and young son. In her spare time she volunteers with Portland Mountain Rescue and enjoys knitting, reading, skiing and cooking.

"Jeanie has helped me define areas of weakness and strength for me. In the short time she has mentored me, she has given some solid strong advise. No sugar coating, just straight, the way it should be. Very encouraging, and the small goals she has me work on are what is bringing me the confidence I need to get the job done, while having fun and being safe" ~ Kem Brainerd
