I’m not going to lie, my first post-baby triathlon gave me some serious race nerves. Knowing I had only been on my bike twice since August coupled with the stress of fitting into my wetsuit & the fear of coming in last, made the butterflies a little crazier than normal. Todd tried to calm my […]

I’d been looking forward to this private mountain bike clinic/birthday party since Todd gave it to me as a gift in 2010. Weeks of delays turned into months as rain and conflicting schedules kept us from the perfect day for riding together with the true Mountain Biking Chick, Tonya Bray, former pro racer and the […]

Princess is getting good enough on her mountain bike that Todd decided it was time to start taking her on longer, more challenging, Daddy/Daughter rides. On their first 10 mile ride, she came home with an excellent trophy. Luckily, biking trophies like these are valued just as much as the shiny metal ones in our […]

Using this technique, I turned a couple of free (but large) mountain biking shirts we won at the Take Your Kid Mountain Biking event into a couple of shirts Baby Brother loves to wear.

Along with the awesome bicycle tote, I recently received this sweet bicycle print from good friend, Kage. Aptly named, “Joy Ride” it reminds me that while I love bombing down a good mountain, I also love cruising around the neighborhood on my old Schwinn.

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of my girlfriend, Kage, this “Petal Power” bag from Survive Designs has quickly become one of my favorite totes.
