This one time, while working at Rapha, my co-worker and I got talking about haircuts. She rarely gets them and told me that when her hair starts to get a little too long she just flips her head over in the bathroom and starts blindly cutting. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, if I did …
Push Picks x NOV 4 19
Monday! How’s everyone feeling with that extra hour of sleep? ^^^ Saturday night's sunset was pretty fantastic. I am actually feeling pretty fantastic today, but then again, Mondays are typically my most refreshed day of the week thanks to a no-alarms weekend. If I’m not racing on Saturday or Sunday and didn’t make early plans …
Boulder’s First Taste of Snow
Ah…thank goodness, I thought as I rubbed one tired eye and peered out my frosty-rimmed kitchen window with the other. Piles of fluffy snow blanketed our bushes, and covered my car and the top of our city-issued recycle bin with fresh flakes. After a glorious 9-hour sleep on Saturday night, I woke up a little …
Weekend Trail Running: Mesa Trail With My Best Buds
If there’s one person that gets me more than anyone else gets me here in Colorado, it’s my friend, Noot. That’s her nickname; her real name is Arthaya. We met over a year ago when she started working at Rapha a few months after me, and we hit it off immediately. She’s goofy and unfiltered. …

CX 2019 Season: US Open of Cyclocross
Two weekends ago, the US Open of Cyclocross went down at Valmont Bike Park in Boulder. It’s Colorado’s only UCI race of the year, and it’s always a big, exciting event. Pros and non-pros from around the country head to Boulder for two days of tough racing. The fields across the board are stiff and …
Rapha X Gravity Haus PiePalooza Ride
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 …
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 …
