Board of Directors
Florence BradleyFlo Bradley is a recovering road cyclist and triathlete who discovered the joys of mountain biking and backpacking 12 years ago. During the hot summer months in Alabama, she swapped a bicycle for a kayak and another obsession was born! As an experienced backpacker she has hiked the Pinhoti Trail, Art Loeb Trail, Foothills Trail, and sections of the Appalachian Trail. She also served as troop leader for the scouts for 11 years, teaching outdoor skills. For several years she was state champion in her age division in cycling in the state of South Carolina. In 2004, she set the women's record for fastest female to cross Alabama on a bike. Her regular job as a fire captain for a large metro fire department keeps her busy responding to fires and medical calls. Her husband and kids are very happy she is part of this group since she will not bother them as much to go bike, hike, or paddle. |
MIN SESSIONS Min enjoys being outdoors and discovering new adventures. She loves to hike, camp, backpack and horseback ride. She loves to try new outdoor things like kayaking. During her hiking ventures, she found peace, joy, and a passion of being outside. After a brief break due to knee pains and a knee replacement, she was determined to stay active and demonstrate to others that you can push through discomforts of recovery and still have a sense of adventure. She joined the club in July 2023 and hasn’t looked back. The club has been a God send and a precious gift during a time when friendship and new adventures were very much needed. The camaraderie and support from club members has been priceless. She has made so many connections and now considers them friends. On the trail she is often heard saying to herself “I can DO this” when the hiking gets hard. Nothing is impossible and life is full of challenges and it’s how you choose to handle these hardships that makes the difference. She encourages everyone to get out and experience life through the trails and to challenge oneself to step outside of their comfort zone and achieve the impossible. YOLO!!!! She looks forward to exploring new trails and meeting new people. Come on out and explore with us!!! |

Susan WillsSusan enjoys all things outdoors. Her love of outdoor sports began when she became a member of a local running club. The camaraderie and support from other members of the club encouraged her to strive to achieve personal goals. She then branched out to trail running and became a member of a local trail running team. Being on the trails was such a therapeutic boost to combat difficulties in life. After the loss of her brother, she vowed to do the best she could to honor his memory. This led to winning a medal or trophy for every race in which she competed. The greatest challenge she has ever faced was participating in an obstacle course race that consisted of 6 miles of steep trails through tough terrain including 20 plus obstacles crossing a creek three times. She placed 2nd in this extremely tough obstacle course run. Shortly after this, she began mountain biking and enjoys biking all kinds of trails in Alabama. Her son is also an avid cyclocross competitor. She also took up kayaking with her children during the pandemic. Most of all, the excitement of joining with and encouraging women and friends to enjoy all things outdoors is something she is most thrilled about. We are looking forward to all the fun times ahead to get outdoors and explore! |
