I wake up, I do my stretching, and I drink coffee. This is how each day begins…and this not a job, this is living. And as the sun rises, the living continues; a balance of work at The Conservation Alliance, coaching athletes with Cycle-Smart International, training on the bike, spending time with my husband, Ben, and our pup, Piper, and being a positive influence on those around me. I don’t have a “day job”. I live. Period.

Becoming a cyclist. Learning, studying and refining my craft. The craft of riding a bike. And being fortunate enough to do so for LIV. A great honor, and a great achievement.

Say yes, then figure out the details.

Finding my limits and then going past them. Over and over again.

Our team. The authentic community of women who lift one another up and push the boundaries of what is possible with unyielding positivity and support.

Any overnight trip requires three things: My Aeropress, my passport, and my bathing suit. That’s three items.

I am going to race an enduro. And it is going to be petrifyingly amazing.

Lower Austria, in the Methow Valley. The most beautiful place on earth.

Anything green, and from the garden. And carrot cake.

All of them!

Drinking coffee, making food, walking my pup and swimming in the river. Yeap, that is pretty much it… oh, and life. Life fits in there too.

I have no idea.. .and I hope never to know. Each day I keep learning and growing and being. If an answer is required, Peter Pan.

What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
