In This Episode: Lorraine Blancher got hooked on riding her bike after she won her first downhill race at 19 and hasn't looked back since. Growing up in Okanagan Valley, Lorraine was given the freedom to explore the wilderness that surrounded her, which evolved into a love for the outdoors, and an ambition to spend as much time as possible enjoying the mountains. She now lives in Revelstoke, BC, where we caught up with her and her sister Sarah for some not-so-typical family time.
