life, work, etc.
It was my 6th time racing in Sturdy Dirty, the local all-women Enduro mountain bike race. I look forward to it every year not only for the racing, but the rides leading up to it, and all the people I get to hang and ride with. I rode the expert category, which was 4 stages: 3,418 feet of climbing over 16.2 miles. At my favorite place to ride: Tiger Mountain. I didn’t crash, had a ton of fun, and PRed on all the segments. Placed 8th. Am sore, tired, and already looking forward to next year.
Strava announced an MCP a few weeks ago and I was excited to try it out. A few things I’ve been able to do with it so far:
(more…)Just rewatched The Grand Budapest Hotel and discovered Annie Atkin‘s work, including her book, which looks lovely. Picking this one up over the weekend.
Took a walk on the beach while in Oregon.
Finally made it down a double black trail at my local mountain. Sound on if you wanna hear how I talk my way through it.
This was so inspiring and a really well done bike documentary. I think the best one I’ve seen. Makes me want to do a hard thing on a mountain bike. Time to start planning! Wild its been two years since Crossing Washington.
63 miles with almost 8,000 feet of climbing. What a great day. I was very impressed with the route, event organization, and Boise area riding. I’d for sure do this again. Thanks to Christie for the invite and company.

Adventure riding weekend in Roslyn, WA. Rock slab, river beers, mining town, steep sandy climbs, hike-a-bike, singletrack, and a bunch of cool people.
For the fifth year in a row, I raced the Sturdy Dirty – an all-women enduro mountain bike race. I look forward to it every year since moving to Seattle. I decided to challenge myself this year and upgrade to Expert category, which has the most distance, climbing, and hardest trails. I survived, had a ton of fun, and didn’t come in last!
