HAPPY TRAILS RIDE
Happy Trails Ride with Anja & Eric
No personal bests. Just a good time on the bike.
The Happy Trails Ride with Anja Kallenbach and Eric Junker focuses on the shared experience of riding trails together, discovering new lines and, above all, having loads of fun on your bike.
They decide which routes to take based on the group’s ability and the day's conditions. This ensures that everyone can enjoy their time together on their bikes, without feeling overwhelmed or underchallenged. The Ride Out is not a traditional riding technique course, but there are plenty of individual tips on technique, line choice and bike handling along the way.
The ride is open to women, men and teenagers aged 14 and over. Female cyclists in particular are expressly welcome: with Anja, women have an experienced guide who understands from personal experience just how important safety and self-confidence are when cycling.
Your Guides
Anja Kallenbach
Anja loves mountain biking and is passionate about inspiring women and girls to take it up, too. In 2021, she was crowned Miss Germany, using her newfound platform to share her passion for cycling, among other things. Having completed her training as a riding technique instructor at the Leogang Bike Park, she now runs her own MTB courses and camps. Her goals are to promote greater safety on bikes, to encourage more women to ride, and above all, to make cycling more fun.
Eric Junker
For Eric, mountain biking is much more than just a sport. He has ridden in bike parks and on trails across Europe for many years, and now passes on his knowledge at bike camps for adults and children. When he’s not riding himself, he can often be found in his shed, where he works on custom bike builds, creates DIY content, and films videos.
Anja and Eric love combining mountain biking with travelling, van life and exploring new trails, and they spend as much time as possible outdoors.
