Another new trail! I've said it before and I will say it again: I could live in Boulder for the rest of my life and never ever run out of new trails to run or hike. Since I've been less inspired to ride my bike lately (not sure what's going on there, but I'm working through …

I really loved writing part one of this vacay recap; sifting through my photos and memories makes me want to go back and hit some spots I didn’t have time for. Part two picks up on Thursday morning after my second and last night in the glamping tent. One of the things I was worried …

Hi. Wow, it's been awhile. A whole month! How are you? I decided to disconnect a little bit the last month because of everything going on in the world and also just for some personal reasons. Anyway, last week I went on a mini road trip and it was one of the best vacations I …
Over Memorial Day weekend, I was blessed with four days off, so I tried to take advantage of the extra time and use one of those days to run/hike a new trail. I’ve gotten out of the habit of exploring new trails since the ones on my to-run and to-hike list were covered in snow …

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. …

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 …

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 …

I got the dates wrong the first time I tried to run here. ^^^ This was the road to the trailhead; the entrance is behind me. Travois Trail is open to runners and hikers on ODD numbered weekend days and mountain bikers (and really ballsy drop bar cyclists) every other day. Even though I checked the date …

I’m still playing catchup over here after some long work weekends and a weekend away in Santa Fe, but I wanted to get this one out because I just had a really fun time with my friend in the mountains. Here we go. A couple weeks ago, Courtney (my new-to-Colorado friend), and I planned a …

I probably pass five or six trailheads on my commute home from Denver to Boulder—visible ones from the road with parking lots and pay stations and everything. If we’re including trailheads I can’t see or have to drive a few miles out of the way for, there have to be hundreds. And I think one …
