Last week we finally got out on a big ride. This Fall has been a great time to ride. Weather has been amazing. However, it will get cold – it’s inevitable. Check out a great company that focuses on outdoor clothing called C2 – for your life outdoors. (I just happen to design and develop…
Last year I crushed my goal of over 1000 miles for the season. That was a huge leap for me and decided to push my mileage in 2017 to 1200 as my next goal. What I love about setting cycling goals is knowing I have to complete them every week. It makes me accountable. I…
It has been a super busy summer over here. Working, riding and everything in between! Everyone is so busy with work and life that we forget to stop the madness. It is so important to take breaks, reset the mind, get your body moving, create a space for creativity, breath in the fresh air and…

Their goal: to reach the…
