I started riding about 10 years ago and fell in love with seeing the world by bike. For me, there’s nothing better than riding an iconic, scenic road or tackling a big climb and enjoying the views at the top. I spend a lot of time researching places to ride, planning routes and building trip itineraries. Riding bikes in new places really excites me and sharing information and details about different locations and events brings me the most joy. I’m all about a ride bucket list and helping others cross rides of their lists too!

I feel fortunate to live in Sierra Foothills where we have some great riding and climbing, but when I get tired of my local routes, my favorite place to ride is Healdsburg in Sonoma County. During the week, I love riding the American River Bike Trail from Folsom because it’s car-free, and therefore stress-free, and I can get a good ride in after work without worrying about rush hour traffic. Plus it’s so beautiful year-round.

Sea Otter is definitely the best festival I’ve ever attended, and I tell friends it is like Coachella for bikes! It’s so fun to visit all the vendor booths, talk to different brands, pick up some swag and enter drawings for free gear. I love being able to socialize with other folks that love riding, meeting IG friends in real life, doing social rides with friends and my favorite bike-lebrities, and watching the pros race. Whether you come for one day or the entire weekend, there’s something for everyone and it is truly a good time!
