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 …
SBT GRVL: 100 Miles in Steamboat Springs
Has it been nearly a month since the SBT GRVL race? And has it been nearly a month since I should’ve posted this recap on the blog I’ve all but abandoned? Yes, yes it has. Alas, I still wanted to share the weekend and some photos because this race was a life-changing experience. I hope …
Weekend Running + Riding: Allenspark + A Ride to Spruce Confections
Another big weekend in the books. I’m not great at holding back once Friday night rolls around. I have all the time and almost none of the responsibilities on Saturday and Sunday, so I try and cram in all the activities, which leaves me feeling like I need another weekend to recover from the weekend …

The Best Running and Cycling #Content I’ve Consumed Recently
This is not a favorites post. I repeat: this is NOT A FAVORITES POST. I don't love those, especially because most of them are filled with stuff to buy, and I don't think we need more THINGS in our lives (unless it's bikes or running shoes, let's be serious). Instead, I'm sharing lots of great content I've …
