SPD cleat install on a new pair of women’s Flume clipless shoes 🖤.

Curious how many people out there just grab another pair of their clipless shoes and compare placement? Or you just have it dialed?

Guilty of thinking I have it dialed and then comparing with another clipless shoe 🤷‍♀️.

P.S. I like to run my cleats further backwards for mtb.

It’s always nice to have a convenient post ride clean up.

That lounge chair life .

I’ve been putting it out there in the universe, this girl needs better bike tools and I have some coming my way…

I’m particular when it comes to my bike, I expect it to run and feel a certain way. After every ride, I spend time way to much time cleaning and prepping it for the next time. Not going to lie, I miss my other bikes too (my quiver of 5). Probably more than anything else 😂. They’re waiting for me to come back. ❤️

Minooka Park MTB Trails | Waukesha, Wisconsin

Found an urban bike park pretty close to home, a good spot for an after work ride. Pedaled 12 miles of trail with tight trees (clipped my bars a couple of times), wide open sections and lots of twisty turns. Made for an interesting ride on the enduro bike —I was only passed a few times by riders on hardtails 😉.

Either way, I’m just happy to be outside riding.

John Muir Trails | Kettle Moraine (Wisconsin)

I found a trail network worth talking about that is only 45!minutes from my house.

29 miles of twisty singletrack with the occasional roots and rocky sections —and a skills area near the entrance.

While I’m definitely over gunned with my current setup, I still had a blast pedaling around and exploring. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone on a real ride and I’m looking forward to riding here again now that I have a better understanding of the area.

Was a popular spot that requires an entry fee or a WI state parks pass. It was nice to feel like I’m with my people again, a bunch of mountain bikers.

I’m excited to start exploring again now that the weather is so nice (we jumped straight to summer here).

Wisconsin lake life is pretty amazing. For those that keep asking, I’m here for this little one, my niece.

It takes a village to raise a child. I’m the wild stallion in my family of prim and proper, offering something different even though she’s similar to me. I have plans to take her with me mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring. She loves hanging out with the van and so far has been enjoying all the activities.

I’ll still wander off and explore other places to ride sans child and do my thing but spending time with her has been important to me because I haven’t had a lot of quality time with her since she’s been born.

Little cyclist in the making. Parents, I need help.

After a couple of hours working on this tank of a bike, I’ve decided to start looking for something else for her with gears.

Any recommendations? I’ve never purchased a kids bike before. I just know this one is crap, weighs almost as much as mine and has one gear 🙄.

She’s also getting a new helmet. Riding without one yesterday was not ideal but it was a first attempt at seeing where she is at.

Hi friends. I’m trusting the magic of new beginnings. Lots of excitement as new changes have come my way.

One of those is working for a B Corp company that not only shares my ethos but also delivers a really great product I’m excited to talk about, small batch coffee ☕️. I’m surrounded by positive like-minded people who’ve made my transition into a new city a good one.

With the warmer temps and high humidity (I love what it’s doing for my hair and skin), I’m finally starting to explore and really enjoy my surroundings.

Everyday is a new beginning, take a breath, smile, and start again.

P.S. I’m a light roast coffee drinker and this is one of my favorite limited-time small batches.

Cheers! ✨

I’ve been mountain biking since I was 17. That’s a long time, I’ve seen a lot of changes in the the industry since 1996.

One thing I’m embarrassed to admit, is it wasn’t until last year that I became my own bike mechanic. Thankfully, I had all the tools to work with (pun intended) by being partnered up with a former bike mechanic for 13 years. I’ve learned a lot from him but I do miss being able to just hand him my bike 😞.

These days, if I want something fixed, adjusted or swap something out, it’s all on me. Weird place to be for me but I’m making it work (I was never one to enjoy wrenching on bikes).

Now I just really need to dial in my travel setup. I failed by leaving my bike stand in my storage unit and not taking it with me. Really annoyed with myself there.

P.S. aren’t these women’s vice flat pedal shoes designed with the bomb? I’m obsessed!

This time last year, I was lying solo in the Alvord Desert. I had spent two and half months road tripping California, Nevada and Utah, and it was time to make my way back to Oregon.

I took a slight detour and spent a couple of days resting. It was magical. My only regret is that I wish I had taken advantage of the hot springs.

Still one of my favorite stops along my journey.

Photo 1: I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have this all to myself. Sleeping on a dry lake bed was a unique experience.

Photo 2: can you believe a road and trail bike are also packed inside? What a mess.

Photo 3: stretching is key to preventing injury on long drives for long bike rides. My flexibility ebbs and flows.

A good first start to what became the most adventurous year of my life, as a solo traveler.

Finally, an 80 degree day in Milwaukee 🔥.

Work on bikes, ride said bikes. Life is good.

Happy Earth Day 🌱

Things look very different on this side of the country.

One thing is for sure, the Earth is what we all have in common.

Happy Easter 💕.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve dressed up and celebrated Easter with my family. I’m typically hiding somewhere in the woods, riding my bike —it’s nice to be part of a tradition again.

This gorgeous Baudelaire wiggle dress from is is truly a masterpiece. A velvet 1950’s inspired vamp dress made in Hollywood —and is just as dangerously sexy as those leading ladies.

I feel like a goth goddess —on a religious holiday 🖤.

I tend to get a lot of beauty and health questions —and I love receiving those. There’s a science to aging well, and I’m here for it.

While a good skin care routine is always recommended, nourishing your body from inside is what’s most important.

For over a decade, I’ve been mixing a water, mineral, collagen, superfood concoction. Gives me everything I need straight out of the gate. Added bonus: hair, skin and nails love it too.

Swipe right to see the combo.

I’m at in spirit —drinking booch, wrenching on bikes 🏅.

Miss you friends!

P.S. Stop by the and / booth for me and say hi to Jackson Fox (Ride Concepts) and Priscilla Savord aka PC (Kask/KOO)❤️.
