Episode 135: Savilia Blunk, 6X USA National Champion

November 24, 2022
Savilia Blunk was raised in rural Northern California. As the youngest of three, she spent her childhood chasing two older brothers around on rusty, hand-me-down bikes. Her love of the outdoors and the adrenaline from physical activity began with her parents providing an early introduction to pure adventure... Of course, strong internal motivation to keep up with her brothers also helped!. Savilia started bike racing in high school through the NorCal NICA league – founded in 2009, NICA (the National Interscholastic Cycling Association) develops interscholastic mountain biking programs for student-athletes across the United States. After high school, she moved to Durango, Colorado for college and to pursue racing at a higher level.

Savilia is a six-time National Champion, Pan Am Champion, current Elite Cross Country National Champion, and she has achieved two World Cup bronze medals. One of Savilia's biggest passions is to be an approachable mentor to kids getting into the sport, and to inspire cycling as a lifelong outlet.
