Carmen Luna
Associate Director and Community Leader
Carmen Luna has a passion for mountain biking with a devotion for inspiring women and kids to ride! Her love for the sport started six years ago when her son joined the SoCal Interscholastic Cycling League mountain bike team. This exposure to mountain biking sparked Carmen’s curiosity leading her to take the lead role in the development of the team. What started as curiosity became a way of life for Carmen and her family as they ride regularly and enjoy exploring trail systems when they are camping at races or in their free time. Carmen also finds significant joy in working with children. She has worked for the Chula Vista school district for the past 14 years and loves mentoring and encouraging her students in their extracurricular activities. Carmen is excited to be leading the Sprockids program in Chula Vista and appreciates that she can combine her two passions: mountain biking and being a coach for young athletes!
