Since I’m over here catching up on all the recaps and things, I might as well get out my pie ride post! It’s a fun one. This past Sunday, Rapha and Gravity Haus hosted a ride they called PiePalooza, and it was a blast! Gravity Haus “is a progressive hotel concept built for adventurous, mobile, …
Hiking Lawn Lake Trail: Rocky Mountain National Park
After my parents’ visit to watch me race cyclocross at Valmont, I knew I needed a weekend off racing to recharge and rest a little. The nerves are almost harder on my system than the actual race itself. So when I walked through my front door a couple Fridays ago, I dropped all my bags …

CX 2019 Season: Interlocken
My second race as a Cat 3 is in the books! But it didn’t quite go how I would’ve liked. This past Saturday I raced in the third of six Without Limits races at Interlocken in Broomfield. And it was…tough. That’s probably the most tame way to put it. I didn’t race this one last …
OMG 30!
Today I’m thirty years old. And do you know what? I’m so fucking happy to be out of my 20s. That second decade was filled with so much pain and heartbreak and change that I think I needed to go through to get where I am today. That revelation is nearly impossible to imagine when …
Two Must-Try Places to Eat Around Boulder
I'm featuring three places to eat in this post, but only two really deserve the limelight. You'll see. Now, I always have great intentions of documenting the most delicious things I eat on special weekends like this past one when my parents were in town, but sometimes I’m literally just too busy eating and talking …

CX 2019 Season: Valmont
So, something happened. But wait, first…my parents were in town! They flew in Friday night to spend the weekend with me in Colorado and to watch me race on Saturday and to give me the hugs I’ve missed so much. I spent half the weekend entertaining and the other having convincing them they should move …
As I’m Nearing 30
We’re just a couple weeks out from the big 3-0 on October 3rd, and do you know something? I’m so fucking ready to be out of my 20s. Two years ago, I was terrified of this milestone. I couldn’t believe I was already deep into my late 20s and nearing the next decade. Aging! The …
Rodeo Adventure Labs Tabletop Tuesday Rides
Since I’ve lived out here in Colorado—almost two years exactly—I can credit all my most memorable rides to the community I built and friends I made while working at Rapha. That place and those people truly saved my life and turned it around for the better. They welcomed me, encouraged me, and taught me so …

CX 2019 Season: Blue Sky Velo Cup
I had a serious case of decision fatigue this past weekend. By Thursday, I was feeling anxious about everything I wanted to do and all the time I didn’t have to do it. That happens more often than not here in Colorado when there are so many fun things happening all at once. On Saturday, …
CX 2019 Season: Harlow Platts
We did it! We made it through the first cyclocross race of the season. And it was an absolute blast! At the end of the 2018 cyclocross season, I was so ready for a break. I only raced four times, but by the end of November, I was ready to hang up my bike for …
