Image_20250113_073705_779_edited.jpg

Kacie Rognlie

Board Chair

This year Kacie is celebrating over a decade of WMBA in her life. She was introduced to the group by her Manitou Spokes mountain bike friends and WMBA was so fun and encouraging her 2nd year she jumped into volunteering via Race Team. She believed in the value and potential of the organization enough to take on Board of Director roles for the last 3 years. Kacie has loved being involved in the Ride Guide committee because where else do you get the opportunity to see the trails in town with a group of amazing ladies.

 

She has been a Westsider and Physical Therapist in COS for 13 years now and can tell you mountain bikers make the best patients. Her mountain and gravel bikes gravitate toward the trails on her side of town but she will never say no to an exploration or coffee ride! In her free time, she is either hiking/biking her 2 year old Aussie or reading though a stack of books.

Jennifer Dvorsky

Board Vice Chair & Race Team Committee Chair

Jen joined the WMBA Board to help continue to cultivate a supportive and inclusive community for women in mountain biking. She started
riding while living in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where she instantly fell in love with the freedom biking offered. After living in several Western states, Jen has called Colorado Springs home since 2014.

 

Professionally, Jen has a background in project management, which she brings to her role on the WMBA Board. She’s eager to leverage her skills to contribute to the organization’s growth, with a focus on fostering community and supporting long-term planning initiatives. Her goal is to help create a strong network of support for women who are passionate about riding trails.

Outside of mountain biking, you’ll find her dreaming up her next bicycle tour, sneaking in a quick overnighter around Colorado, or embracing her “wanna-be runner” status while climbing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. And yes, she’s also a proud snack enthusiast, always in search of the perfect mid-ride snack.

Jen is thrilled to contribute to the WMBA community, helping
create a welcoming environment where women can connect, learn, and enjoy the sport—snacks included!

Eunice Wang

Secretary & Social Media Committee Chair

Eunice was born and raised in Missouri, and started biking during college as a way to get to classes. The commute became a form of stress relief for her, and she found joy in connecting to nature through biking. She moved to Colorado in 2019 and joined WMBA that same year in hopes of meeting women stoked on bikes. Although she was initially nervous about steep downhills and techy trails, she has come to love the thrill of ripping singletrack.

Eunice is a civil engineer and likes to contemplate the built environment around her. In her free time she can be found reading, writing, cooking, and daydreaming of future adventures.

Susan Kolbush

Treasurer & Strategic Planning Committee Chair

Susan’s passion for mountain biking started in the ‘90s in Southern California. In the years since, she has not always lived in places with mountains or vibrant mountain bike communities… so she is super stoked to now call Colorado Springs home – and to have found the welcoming and energetic WMBA who are committed to empowering women to build confidence and get out there and shred!!

After 35 years in the energy industry (living in SoCal, Ohio, Chicago, and London) Susan recently retired from her last role as Senior Vice President - leading a team of experts accountable for assessing major risks across global operations. She holds a Chemical Engineering degree from Cal Poly, completed a GM program at Harvard Business School, and has served on several corporate and non-profit boards.

When not out riding, Susan can be found catering to her retired racing greyhound George, perfecting her sourdough pizza recipe in a wood fired pizza oven and travelling with her partner Tom.

Christina Bardsley

Board Member & Ride Guide Committee Chair

Christina hails from the great state of Pennsylvania but has called ColoRADo home for the past seven years. Christina’s first mountain bike ride was on Christmas Day (2021) and since then, her two-wheel adventures have not stopped. 

In 2022, Christina joined WMBA and was immediately drawn in by the supportive and empowering community. In 2024, she signed up for the race team and volunteered as a ride guide, where she spent many Thursday evenings spreading sweetness on the trails.

Christina is a proud boy mom who works in the Human Resources field. When not riding, Christina can be found on the tennis court; camping; or binge-watching true crime shows, like Dateline and 48 Hours.

Christina is thrilled to have the opportunity to volunteer as a WMBA Board Member and looks forward to lots of full-send fun on the trails!

Niki Amidei

Board Member & Sponsorship Committee and Events Committee Chair

Niki is so grateful to deepen her support for an organization she has been a part of for most of the past decade. As a native to Colorado, Niki finds ways to get stoked on all things outdoors. Her love for mountain biking really took off in 2012 (how is that 13 years ago now) and loves exploring the nooks and crannies of the expansive MTB trails in and near Colorado Springs.

 

For most of her professional career, Niki has been a middle school science teacher. She opened an elementary charter school as the founding principal back in 2020 and has since stepped into managing all operations for a charter network she has belonged to since moving to Colorado Springs in 2013. 

 

Outside of work and cool mountain bike things, Niki loves reading (let’s be friends on GoodReads!), spending time with her dog, finding the tastiest treats around town (with a soft spot for tacos and margs), and attempting to spiritually connect with nearly any animal she encounters.
