We switched up typical saturday Mt. Tam loop, with a fun ride up to and across Bolinas Ridge. I made a fun 4min supercut of the day 😻

WOOOOOWWWWW! Hunter totally surprised me on my favorite bike ride with a PROPOSAL!

Here are my favorite photos from 2023.

🤬 While racing a bike Strava segment, during our weekly group ride with our friends, I broke my elbow in two! Due to the kind of break, it required surgery & cyborg 🦾 upgrades. Surprisingly, I had very little pain throughout as long as I didn’t move it to a painful position.

Hunter and I bike the crazy 80 mile Rock Cobbler race in Bakersfield, CA, with 4 of our friends. Slippery mud, impossible climbs requiring hike-a-bike, cows, and over 8,000 feet of climbing insanity with 1,000 riders. This is the longest and hardest dirty ride of my life!
