Hannah has continued to progress and grow as a rider over the seasons as she spends her summers chasing trails around Europe and her winters at home practicing as a nurse, skiing the Nevis range and riding her MTB. 2013 saw Hannah competing in everything from the big mountain Mega Avalanche and Trans Savoie competitions right through to rounds of the Enduro World Series and UK based competitions and events.

“We’re very happy to have Hannah riding with us this season and for her to choose to pilot a Yeti” said Silverfish UK Marketing Manager Pete Drew. “Her professional attitude, love of the outdoors and passion for mountain biking seems endless and is just what Yeti Cycles and Silverfish UK love to see in a rider”.
