About Us
Founder and Guide
Annie founded Field Trip in 2026 after spending her career at the in travel and technology. She worked five years at Backroads as a guide and in program management, followed by stints at a robotics startup and a travel planning software company.
Field Trip came out of a simple frustration: getting a group on bikes is hard. Not everyone has a bike. Not everyone knows where to go. Groups are always mixed levels. Nobody wants to haul gear for a single ride on a longer trip. Annie built Field Trip to remove all of that. Her hope is that anyone, whether a local trying to get their group out or a visitor exploring for the first time, can just show up and have a great day on the bike.
Head of Marketing
Chris is Field Trip's head of marketing and the person behind the camera on every ride. He's passionate about storytelling and building communities around shared experiences — and spends most of his weekends outside. He joined Field Trip because he believed in what Annie was building and wanted to help more people find their way onto a bike.
Lead Guide
Tessa is one of Field Trip's lead guides and knows these roads like the back of her hand. She spent years guiding at Backroads before joining Field Trip, and brings the same warmth and expertise to every ride. She's the kind of guide who makes sure nobody gets dropped — and makes the climb feel worth it when you get to the top.
