Jessie Curell
Jessie is mega jazzed to race for the third season on the Shore Sirens Race Team, this year as the new Race Team Manager. Riding bikes is fun, racing bikes is even more fun, and racing bikes with your sweet team is truly the best version of it all…
This year she will be racing the PORCA Spudcrusher, Loam Hustler, the NSMBA Women’s Enduro, the Bosch eBike Challenge at Crankworkx, and the WORCA Witsend. She is very thankful for the support she gets from her team members and our team sponsors.

Amelia Shippey
Mia first started riding bikes in 2014 on a humble hardtail in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Since then, she moved to BC in 2022 with a longing for further exploration and adventure, joined the Shore Sirens and the women+ MTB community.
This year, Mia is back for her second year on the Sirens Race Team, with goals to strengthen her technical skills and push for more speed. Ride hard, play hard!

Sam Hart
Samantha got her start in mountain biking in 2020, borrowing friends’ bikes and quickly realizing she was all in. By 2021 she had her own bike and was fully hooked, chasing progression on the North Shore, in Squamish, and wherever else the trail led.
After racing for the first time last season, she’s stepping into her first year on the Shore Sirens Race Team excited to keep building confidence, pushing her limits, and seeing what she’s capable of.
Her goal this season is simple: push herself, keep progressing, and try not to completely obliterate herself in the process.

Hanna Girndt
Hanna has been riding mountain bikes for as long she can remember, and began racing enduro during the Shore Sirens inaugural Race Team season. In 2026, Hanna is stoked to be racing alongside so many rad women, both teammates and competitors. She is excited to race the Loam Hustler, Whistler Witsend and some Crankworx events. When Hanna isn’t training for enduro, you can find her on her gravel bike or in the bike park.

Marisa Myrah
Marisa has been riding bikes for 15 + years and the passion continues. She has been in many races over the years including enduro, XC and some road racing as well.

Her plans are the Squamish Enduro, Loam Crusher, NSMBA Fivers and the Women’s Enduro and other races tbd.

Gaby Jones
Gaby has been mountain biking since 2020 and discovered fun-duro racing a few years later. After acting as the Shore Sirens race team manager the past two years, she has stepped back from that role this season. Gaby's goal is to have a fun, relaxed race season by participating in local Fivers, womens+ enduro events, and also going for gravel rides and Whistler Bike Park trips. Outside of biking, Gaby studies rocks as a geology PhD student at Simon Fraser University.

Sydney Ballhausen
Sydney grew up riding and racing downhill in Pemberton and the Whistler Bike Park. She likes riding new trails and trying the "fun" lines. Aside from riding mountain bikes, she also races BMX, trail runs, and can usually be found with her pup, Millie.
Sydney's goals for 2026 are to push her limits while having as much fun as possible, and looks forward to supporting her teammates in crushing their own goals this season.

Nikki Weis
Born and raised in beautiful BC, Nikki fell in love with mountain biking in 2014 and has competed in a few local races over the years. She’s looking forward to being a part of the Shore Sirens race team for 2026 and pushing her skills on the bike alongside some other badass women! Some goals for this year are to work on her confidence in corners as well as sending it higher on big jumps!

Emelie Lundstrom
It is Emelie's first season on the Shore Sirens race team. She first started mountain biking in 2022 after borrowing a friend's bike and sending it down Pennzoil. She is super grateful to have discovered the Shore Sirens group last year and getting to ride with so many rad women. She is excited to take her riding to the next level alongside her race team teammates.
Emelie's goal for the 2026 season is to be a bit more intentional with her riding, rather than relying purely on vibes. She is looking forward to learning from her teammates and to becoming a more well rounded rider.

Juls Seadon
Julia has been riding bikes for over 20 years, with mountain biking as her main focus for the past decade, navigating a few health-related detours along the way. Nothing makes Julia’s heart happier than being out on the trails with her house-horse-sized dog, Cooper, running alongside her. Most often found exploring the North Shore and Sea to Sky trails, Julia rides to challenge herself, enjoy good trail snacks, and soak up the strong sense of community that mountain biking brings.
Having dabbled in a few races, she’s thrilled to be joining the Shore Sirens this season—eager to grow as a rider while being supported, inspired, and pushed by a team of incredible women.
