You have an extraordinary story with great depth I was not expecting. Now after listening to it we have an even greater appreciation of your weekly contributions. Thank you for sharing this with our cycling community. God Bless.
amazing! Anna's story is like it's coming from movies or japanese cartoon series. where the main character coming from zero to hero by accidentally involved in the cool sport. lol
Thank you Anna for this look into your life. I would say Doddy's find is our treasure!! Thanks for all you do for keeping us well informed and entertained. Yourself and Doddy make it all the worth while to tune in every week!!
You get the guys usually and casually talking about themselves, and that's where one gets a sense of their story. That's a piece that had been missing from Anna's presentation so far (for me, at least) and Oh My Word what a story it is!
What an amazing story. You are absolutely a wonderful addition to the GMBN team and I look forward to many more of your content. Thank you for sharing your story.
Great story and after meeting the GMBN people at various events, you are now one of them. I think Blake would stir you up a bit and they all seem to be great sorts. Doddy's workshop/studio looks very neat too...do you ever want to move something to see if he notices?
Love your story Anna! Can’t imagine biking 30 miles everyday to work but you surely have very fond memories of it. Truly deserving of being the new Tech Presenter of GMBN!
You are a great addition to the gmbn crew, and a great role model for my kid. I want her to choose her own path, and do what she loves for a career, not be trapped in the cycle (no pun intended) of boring jobs for nothing more than a paycheck. A life worth living.
I really enjoyed getting to meet Anna! Thanks so much for a great video Anna. Also - thanks for all of your other great videos too! I have learned a ton.
The Bristol Bath Railway path that Anna rode to and from Bristol is a fantastic off road, traffic free route that has literally changed the direction of millions of peoples lives!
Hey Anna. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with us. You had my partner in tears (in a good way) 😁 We'd love to see and hear more about your past and future adventures. You've already inspired us on to bigger and better tings n stuff. Love!
Tag, check out my video "Tips For Smaller Riders" ruclips.net/video/H-s1eevGuZE/видео.html and "Suspension Set-up for Bodyweight" ruclips.net/video/Gr0J7naECU8/видео.html which both have a lot of info on size and weight. Enjoy! - Anna :)
As a Costa Rican myself, I was sooo excited to see you mention TransCR a few times and hope that you continue to enjoy races in our jungles soon!! I am now based in Marin County, hopefully GMBN Tech brings you here to cover something fun sometime!!
Wow, what a rich life you have had. A few of us could learn a lot from you about how to do life. Its obvious to me that you was destined to end up where you are now. I hope you stay for a long time to come. Stay gnarly Anna!
Wonderful story, and thank you for sharing! You are a perfect fit with the GMBN family! Your passion and experiences like the other presenters is deep and filled with very fawned memories of the hay days of competition. Again thank you for sharing your cycling journey Anna.
Properly great Video, really inspirational back story. Seems you did it the hard way. The whole GMBN Community is lucky to have you and the Doddy as out Tech Guru's. Proper ly nice lady as well. Keep safe all 😊🚵
I just think of you two as Doddy and Doddette, it's easier that way. You both do such a good job that it doesn't ever bother me who is presenting or not.
Oh wow what an amazing working and racing history you have. You’re an inspiration to all with your flexibility and outlook to life with you’re different careers within the cycling industry and a credit to GMBN 🙌🏼
Wow, that‘s a backstory and a half. I like how you reinvented yourself over and over again. Can you do a special on stage races? I have started training regularly about a year ago and recently found out that I‘m good at recovering and going again the next day so I want to give stage races a go.
As they say, “Super nice!”, with bell ringing. Very interesting episode Anna and a pleasure to hear your story. You’ve made a life doing what you love.
The Corsa Extra is a beauty. She was apparently custom built for a pro who raced time trial in 1996, believe it or not. I'm looking forward to riding her again. - Anna :)
Awesome career saga! So much experience and knowledge! I have an even greater respect for you Anna! Great to have you on the channel! Keep up the great work!🤘
Thank you, Anna, for sharing your extraordinary life story. Landing a job as a presenter at GMBN Tech was a natural progression in your career, considering your amazing talents in riding, storytelling, bike mechanics, etc. It is great to see your talent, your sense of humor, your intelligence, your charm, your great beauty, and your grace radiate through the screen whilst watching GMBN Tech. I hope GMBN graces us with your talents in many ways and as often as possible. May God bless this remarkable journey that is your life and may you bless us all by continuing to share this journey with your admiring fans.
As a new person to the sport of mountain biking, your story is awesome. You also have a very warm and inviting atmosphere, and so does GMBN. Hope to see much more of you in the future of this channel.
Wow! this was the best Meet the presenter you ever done, ever! This was like being there with Anna while she recounts all her successes and struggles in life that got her to where she is right now. Im late to the party but GMBN is lucky to have you on board.
Hey just wanted to say a really well done on the presenter video front! A really cool and interesting journey that you have been on, one where you have been involved in some many different areas of the sport. I definitely think that GMBN need to utilise your obvious skills and get you riding some races, I think that yourself and Mr Samson would make quite the marathon team or at least maybe some Enduro racing... probably on hardtails?! 🤪 Really great to see the start and also hear how you ended up with a load of mechanical knowledge... did wonder how you got all the skills. Long may you be a part of the GMBN tech crew, you definitely make the place a more enjoyable watch!
"Everyone at work thought I was mad." Well, no offense Anna but I would have thought the same. 😆 Btw, this is the most interesting "Meet the Presenter" I've ever watched. 😊
You are an amazing Lady ! A wealth of experience & knowledge which expands all aspects of our wonderful sport, your a fantastic addition to GMBN team ! & Your partnership with Doddy as team of tech experts is Heavenly! & Very well deserved here is wishing you all the very best at GMBN for the future !! Big up !!!! 👍👌🚵🏞️🌲🌲🌄🌲
Just came across this video. Love watching her and Doddy together!! Thoroughly enjoyed hearing/seeing Anna's story. Always amazing and yes, inspirational to hear about one of my GMBN Tech favorites and her achievements.
What a back story you have, impressive, outstanding, inspiring, a little sad but equally heart warming and just plain awesome. I watched it twice. You've packed so much into so few years, I'm in awe. You are awesome, hopefully I'll meet you at some point/event/race to say hi, have a great day xx
What a journey/story how you got to where you are now Anna. Meeting the team.before hand and now working with them 😁 Fantastic addition to GMBNTech Doddy knew that when he said for you to apply for the job 👍 Great stuff #GMBNTech
Truly remarkable back story Anna great to have an in sight into your life , kudos to you for never giving up and following your dream which leads you to today a brilliant presenter very easy to watch and follow. Thanks😊
I don't know much, but I can recognize a good-hearted and talented person when I see one. Great story and great adventures. I love your shows and I will love them even more with this tiny bit of knowledge of you. I wish the greatest things to you !
i use to not be a real fan of yours compared to the other presenters this video changed my entire image of you even makes me a new fan kinda glad i took the time to watch the entire video and take it all in do not worry my grammar sucks and i do not see to great but i have a passion of riding bikes even crashing marathons on my bike not once but twice in the same day cant say i'll be that lucky ever again kinda neat i was doing a 65 k bike ride and a 5 k running marathon kinda stoked i think they thought i was part of marathon crew lol any how great video now i feel like a heel opened my eyes and mind broader now
Such a wonderful journey through life, your an inspiration to riders of all skill levels, you're an amazing beautiful person, thank you for sharing your life's story with us, I would love to find a lady like you to ride with, take care!🤘🤘❤❤
Awesome story and well deserved. It seems that you have worked hard to be where you are, I admire people that can happily chase their passion in order to live the dream👌🏽 Brilliant! PS are you left handed? I couldn’t help nothing the guitar 🎸
What a story! That's amazing! Surely love your Videos! Maybe i should go racing too! Enduro is a bit hard on a Hardtail. Not an XC hardtail off course but kind of the polish version of a Scout 275. An octane one sour from 2021. The new frame got a boost rear. The old sour still had QR. Maybe i can find some races around here.
I've finally realised why you look familiar... Raced you at cx, back in the days when women rode with vet men! Loving your videos - GMBN did well nabbing you!
That is quite the story you got there Anna, and made the smart decision in joining Gmbn tech. I never see myself as a serious rider, only ride for fun, or work, and will only ride Xc or Trail bikes.
just come across you Anna presenting the Sea Otter 2023 GMBN tech stories (just subscribed too)…though not seeing or have heard of you before (though now i’ve probably read an article or two from you over the years) i knew you weren’t just a female talking head, you knew what you were seeing and hearing from the manufacturers….so not surprised to hear this back story on what you’ve done in the cycling world…awesome

What an amazing story. You are absolutely a wonderful addition to the GMBN team and I look forward to many more of your content. Thank you for sharing your story.
Anna has been a great addition to GMBN. Her and Doddy work well together and she has a great story 😎
Great story and after meeting the GMBN people at various events, you are now one of them. I think Blake would stir you up a bit and they all seem to be great sorts. Doddy's workshop/studio looks very neat too...do you ever want to move something to see if he notices?
I moved stuff as soon as I moved in. He noticed. Lol - Anna ;)
Was lovely to hear your story you are truly accomplished and passionate and have quickly become a valued part of the GMBN team.
Thanks, Brownsworthy! Very sweet of you. - Anna :)
Love your story Anna! Can’t imagine biking 30 miles everyday to work but you surely have very fond memories of it. Truly deserving of being the new Tech Presenter of GMBN!
Amazing! It’d be great to see you join the next epic ride.
A fantastic overview of a wonderful young lady, whose been there, done that.
Go Anna!
You are a great addition to the gmbn crew, and a great role model for my kid. I want her to choose her own path, and do what she loves for a career, not be trapped in the cycle (no pun intended) of boring jobs for nothing more than a paycheck. A life worth living.
You sounds like a lovely parent. Well done, you! I hope you enjoy cycling together. - Anna :)
All that from the love of bikes. We’re lucky to have you and I wish I could say I did half as much.
There's still time. - Anna :)
Thank you for sharing, so good to hear your journey. So wanted to meet you at the Sea Otter Classic. maybe another year. Thanks again.
I'm sure I'll come back! Thanks! - Anna :)

Amazing journey that these two wheeled things take us on! Thank you Anna.
As a Costa Rican myself, I was sooo excited to see you mention TransCR a few times and hope that you continue to enjoy races in our jungles soon!!
I am now based in Marin County, hopefully GMBN Tech brings you here to cover something fun sometime!!
Awesome story and you're so impressive in how you dove into it all. Great balance with Doddy too.
Very lovely. Glad you made this video for us all to learn about you. Great addition to GMBN.
No problem! We enjoyed getting to know Anna a bit more through making it! 👍
Keep up the good work, Anna. Great to have you on gmbn tech
Wow, what a rich life you have had. A few of us could learn a lot from you about how to do life. Its obvious to me that you was destined to end up where you are now. I hope you stay for a long time to come. Stay gnarly Anna!

What a lovely story
inspiring story that most of us surely can relate to. Congrats Anna and I look forward to many GMBN Episodes from you!
Really enjoyed this. Inspirational. We love having you on the channel. We'd like to see you do more riding videos with the guys 🤘
One quality that I love about GMBN is that they all have a passion for bikes and riding and it shows in their vids.
Oh wow what an amazing working and racing history you have. You’re an inspiration to all with your flexibility and outlook to life with you’re different careers within the cycling industry and a credit to GMBN 🙌🏼
A great story Anna, glad that you gave Doddy's offer a go!
Me too! - Anna :)
So much busy energy! 😀 You're Amazing in so many ways. Great story...and love the garden!
Great to learn all about your amazing career, Anna. More than qualified to join the GMBN boys.
Love it!!! Happy to finally see the backstory. Love seeing you help us all.
Wow, that‘s a backstory and a half. I like how you reinvented yourself over and over again. Can you do a special on stage races? I have started training regularly about a year ago and recently found out that I‘m good at recovering and going again the next day so I want to give stage races a go.
I hadn't really thought of it as reinventing myself, but i guess you're right. I just did what felt was right and fun at the time. - Anna :)
Congratulations and welcome to your new adventure❗️
As they say, “Super nice!”, with bell ringing. Very interesting episode Anna and a pleasure to hear your story. You’ve made a life doing what you love.
Yes I've been waiting for so long for the meet the presenter on anna
I hope it didn't disappoint. Thanks for watching! - Anna :)
Awesome background story, Anna! Now you've come full circle. Thanks for sharing and love the Merckx!
The Corsa Extra is a beauty. She was apparently custom built for a pro who raced time trial in 1996, believe it or not. I'm looking forward to riding her again. - Anna :)
@@gmbntech Sweet! Maybe one day you can do a crossover to GCN and have a feature on it.
Cool chick;) There’s so many people that have similar interest to mine. BTW I’m wondering why I’m watching this🤔 love it 😍
Awesome career saga! So much experience and knowledge! I have an even greater respect for you Anna! Great to have you on the channel! Keep up the great work!🤘
What a truly amazing life, Anna! So glad you added the GMBN job to your vast list of experiences. Your work helps lots of us every week, I'm sure!

Interesting Video and a Job well earned by the sound of it :-)
So interesting, Anna.. love your gardening, in awe of you racing Enduro on your 100mm XC bike!
Brilliant story, love your passion and humility. Thanks for being genuine and open, your enthusiasm is contagious.
What a great story and life. Glad your with gmbn because your the best looking of the bunch. Cheers.
nice video, worth watching
Thanks, Tom! Glad you enjoyed!
Great story (so far)! Thanks for sharing Anna!
You are doing amazing! Awesome to see the way your bike style has changed during the years! Keep the good work!
What a story! That's amazing! Surely love your Videos!
Maybe i should go racing too! Enduro is a bit hard on a Hardtail. Not an XC hardtail off course but kind of the polish version of a Scout 275. An octane one sour from 2021. The new frame got a boost rear. The old sour still had QR.
Maybe i can find some races around here.
I've finally realised why you look familiar... Raced you at cx, back in the days when women rode with vet men! Loving your videos - GMBN did well nabbing you!
Congrats! Great life story!
Be great to know the Bath Bristol off road route... the cycle paths only redeeming feature is the cake shop at the end!
That is quite the story you got there Anna, and made the smart decision in joining Gmbn tech. I never see myself as a serious rider, only ride for fun, or work, and will only ride Xc or Trail bikes.
just come across you Anna presenting the Sea Otter 2023 GMBN tech stories (just subscribed too)…though not seeing or have heard of you before (though now i’ve probably read an article or two from you over the years) i knew you weren’t just a female talking head, you knew what you were seeing and hearing from the manufacturers….so not surprised to hear this back story on what you’ve done in the cycling world…awesome
Welcome to the channel 😊 Happy to have you along for the ride!
Wow and the story has a fair bit to go yet. I really enjoyed this thanks for sharing Anna.🤙
