How am I feeling so nostalgic for memories that are only a couple months old? Maybe it’s going by too fast. And maybe, despite all the hard stuff, I have an amazing life and I’m living the best of it right now. Either way it was a hell of a summer and I miss it already. by @ryanrinn

The thrill of being yelled at in a foreign language at 4am when you’re pushing 35+ mph with only enough light to see a few feet ahead of you is exhilarating and terrifying.

Never done a 24hr race or raced in Europe, but hitting the climbs at full gas on zero sleep as the sun begins to rise and the Germans are blasting techno and death metal (never putting down their beers) on the side of the mountain seems like the best way to do it. The logistics of staying fueled, making sure you don’t miss a handoff, and prepping your body to go all out for 5-6 pulls coupled with sleep deprivation were challenging but we never stopped.

Being the only Americans was a linguistic obstacle, but there’s something beautiful about finding a way to communicate at full tilt so you can all go faster together. I did a lap with one rider and we never spoke a word, but it we hauled. Another lap I found a guy I rode with hours earlier and he yells, “hey it’s you again. Don’t drop me on the climb and we’ll bring it home.” And that’s what we did.

I love Bavaria and this is the most memorable trip yet. Couldn’t have done it without all the amazing support, especially from Erin and the boys. And of course @radhaus_sf for making the dream we’re living in. by @ryanrinn

Erste runde (first lap) of Bavaria for the Radhaus Racing crew. We’ve acclimated to the local food, bier, and culture just fine. by @ryanrinn

Party in the park. Trying hard feels better in a cropped Whitney T you stole from your wife.

Never saw myself as a dad and I was terrified my world would change. It did and it’s awesome. The hardest and most rewarding job I’ve ever had and I love it. I don’t nail it every day (not even close) and it kills me but I’ll never stop trying to be better for them. I don’t deserve these two but I love the hell out of them.

Cut your dads some slack (i do now) bc this shit is hard. Happy Father’s Day homies. by @ryanrinn

First time really putting the metal to the test after hip replacement two months ago. Got some work to do but riding my single speed with Hayes to the race in GGP and back in tank tops as the sun went down was damn special.

A full cross season means racing 1-2 times every weekend for 3 months straight. It’s nearly impossible to feel on your game physically or mentally for all of them, and “feeling it out” really isn’t an option when it’s all out from the gun. As I look back on this past season I’m happy with the balancing act of pushing through and knowing when to reload. My only dnf was 15 years ago and I’m unable to completely give up the chase even if it’s futile. The difference now is I can let it go and still have fun out there or just be happy I came out and it’s over.

I didn’t plan to race the whole season on a single speed, but my other bike broke before the first race and I found some real talent in the field again that pushed me. It’s also way more fun! Nearly every race we started we’d catch the geared field in a matter of seconds and work our way through to finish top 3 or 5 overall. Pretty rad and a great ego boost. I won a series and came second in another on what my doctor said was the hip of a 90 year old. Now I’m rehabbing with my eyes on next season. by @ryanrinn

January 2 is always a sad day for me and I usually cry. The holidays are over, our visitors go home, normal schedules take hold again, and it seems like things kind of start over. This year is extra loaded as I sit a week out from major hip surgery and won’t be able to cope with my seasonal blues with physical exertion.

But thanks to a little bit of therapy and awareness I welcomed the feelings and without stressing or planning too much I had a banger day. Raced a stranger on my bike then took Hayes out for his longest ride ever. He crashed hard twice and thought we might have our first broken bone, but still rode the 7 miles back home in the rain. God I am so proud of him. Then some light performative charcuterie and reading (my first proper book in years), a movie, and then stayed up late to write finally. The perfect balance of self and family and that’s my goal for the year and forever. by @ryanrinn

11 years ago to the day we got secret married at this spot with a lunch reception for 6 at Pelican Inn. We’re back every year on NYE. Bonus content at Travis Marina Bar where we got fake married but had the real party. Set to our wedding jam. taken in Muir Woods Beach Overlook by @ryanrinn

After 4 muddy races in two weekends I needed a little breather to clean kit and let the bikes dry out. The last two were my 50th and 51st cross wins that locked up the BASP single speed series after coming up one step short last year. Riding that high I’m ready for the last two of the season.

Candy corn, cyclocross, Oktoberfest, hockey, sweater weather, and my birthday; just a few reasons October is my favorite month. Did I use the semicolon correctly or should it have been a full one 🤷‍♀️ by @ryanrinn
