What a cool race! My first mountain bike race with trails that aren't blue and green! So grateful to have such awesome women to race with ❤️

@pearlizumiofficial clothes were comfortable and resilient, per usual ;)

A look back at the fastest riders of the day 🏆

This is your overall Little Sugar MTB podium featuring the elites and elite U23 athletes.

With $30,000 in prize money split among the Top 5 men and women, the stakes were high and the racing delivered.

Stay tuned for Big Sugar Gravel this Saturday as riders take on 25, 50 and 100miles of Ozark gravel! 👀

Jumpin into my 4th Leadville 100 tomorrow!

This is such an iconic race and by far one of my favorites of the season. Having had plenty of experience here in the past, this is a race I know all too well. Thanks to the @envemogsquad and all of our partners for keeping us dialed! It’s been super cool connecting with everyone at the venue. I’m feeling stoked and ready to go for #4 🤘

I had the best time at @sbtgrvl yesterday (12th). The worst of the smoke cleared out before the start and we got the spend the morning riding in the mountains. I fell off the front group over the top of the steepest part of the first climb 32 miles in and our little group combined didn’t quite have the firepower to make it back up. Nevertheless, we all happily got home together, safely managing the course mergers.

I’ve had to significantly change my mindset this year. Last year I worked harder than ever had, only to encounter issue after issue- crashes, mechanicals, stolen and broken equipment. It took me up and over the edge mentally, emotionally, and physically. Bike racing fell out of love with me. I love it differently now.

Out of necessity, I’ve had to work more this year with industry maturity and truly we can only tolerate so much total stress in our lives. The reality is @focofondo is in less than 3 weeks and I am doing my best. My body has set its limits and I’m trying to respect that and be kind to myself.

Decoupling my identity exclusively from bike racing has become an important goal and I’m slowly figuring that out. I am content. I had a great time at SBT and had a solid ride. Im grateful to be here.

Also a huge shout out to @mootscycles for letting us park it 🚐 and @envecomposites for the feed!
