Episode 295 Cynthia Prefontaine: “Women Empowering Women Through Extreme Sports”

Cynthia Prefontaine's life was once dominated by racing quads, a time when living, sleeping, and racing these vehicles shaped her everyday existence. Her experience working with one of the largest shock manufacturers gave her a unique insight into the world of motorsports.

In 2021, during Episode 46, Cynthia discussed a rally in Morocco known as the Rallye Aicha des Gazelles du Maroc—a gateway to Africa. Returning in 2024, Cynthia is back to share her adventures and her victorious experience.

Cynthia’s evolving role in the motorsports world has kept her engaged, consulting with motorsport teams and working with professional women racers like Sara Price, a former motocross racer turned UTV driver.

Living amid the rugged mountainous terrains, Cynthia naturally embraced the outdoor and survivalist lifestyle. Her days are filled with riding dirt bikes, hunting, undertaking extreme trail hikes, and mastering living off the land.

Cynthia applied all her knowledge and lessons from the Canadian mountains to excel in the Moroccan rally, navigating the challenging terrain using traditional methods like maps and compasses.
