Hannah Simms is based in Victoria, BC, and focuses on some of the toughest racing on the calendar. At 28, her main goal for 2026 is gravel and endurance mountain biking, especially long XC marathon races and multi-stage events where strategy, pacing, and consistency are everything.

She is drawn to longer efforts where equipment choices, nutrition, recovery, and adapting to the unexpected all play a role. Over multiple days of racing, nothing is guaranteed, and that challenge is what keeps her motivated.

Choosing a favorite bike is tough, but the Hei Hei takes the edge. A mountain biker at heart, Hannah loves how it feels playful and fast at the same time, climbing efficiently while still encouraging creativity on the descents.

She is most fired up riding BC trails that blend flow and tech, especially when chasing someone just a little faster. Her key goals this season include BC Bike Race and Canadian Gravel Nationals, with a focus on consistency and returning to familiar races stronger and smarter.

Off the bike, Hannah works with Anything Goes Event Series, helping organize gravel and mountain bike races across BC, and is passionate about creating more opportunities for women to get to the start line.
