Social Media Break

It's been a while since I have updated this blog but I have decided to take a social media break and figure this is a good place for people to follow what I am up to.

This summer has been filled with gravel events, a weekend yoga getaway and a trip to LA.  

Dirty Dino Gravel Grinder June 2022...I highly recommend this event.  The gravel is pristine.  The views were amazing.  The event was very well organized.  I opted for the 60 mile course.  This is the perfect distance as you get in a solid workout and then get to relax while watching other racers ride in.  My good friend and teammate, Breanne, directed this event. It was the first year and she did a fantastic job making sure everyone had a great experience.

Teasdale, Utah August 2022...one of my longtime yoga instructors has a beautiful home and land in Teasdale.  It was the perfect setting for some sunrise sitting, yoga and connecting with old and new individuals.  I have known Kim Dastrup for 12+ years.  She is always welcoming and loving towards me no matter how long it's been since I have seen or practiced with her.

RPI, Sun Valley Idaho, September 2022...this was a tough event for me.  You get what you train for and boy did that show.  With wind for the majority of the day, it made for a long day on the bike.  At times I felt like I couldn't produce any power.  At the end of the day it was about the experience not the result.

Los Angeles September 2022...I spent the week house/pet sitting for my brother and sister-in-law.  Lots of time relaxing which is good for me do even when my mind tells me otherwise.  I was able to get in a couple of hikes and long walks.
