Pongo fin a mi primera carrera @machupicchuepic . Han sido 5 dias increíbles, cada etapa mejor que la anterior llegando hasta 4200 metros sobre el nivel del mar, todo un reto.

Vuelvo a casa con un tercer puesto 🥉 muy contenta con ganas de volver a correr pronto.

Ha sido increíble haber compartido esta experiencia con mi padre, y con el catalan team, así como con toda la gente que he conocido durante la carrera.

Muchas gracias a todo el equipo por hacer esta carrera tan especial. 💚 Viva Peru! 🇵🇪

December is for running away to warmer weather and ripping hot laps at the @ziarides Dawn to Dusk race with a stellar crew. My 5th year doing the D2D migration and I doubt I’ll ever stop 🏜️🌵

Off season means different things for each of our riders. Some of us are heading south in search of desert chonk, while others prepare for an epic bikepacking adventure, and some of us are just taking a well deserved break. Regardless of what the next few weeks look like each of our athletes are starting to plan for 2024 and it’s looking like it’s going to be a very exciting season!

Dawn to Dusk Crested Butte camp! What an amazing weekend. 3 days of training our athletes on some of the most beautiful trails in the world. It just doesn’t get much better than that. Join the adventure next on the Colorado Trail, or later in the year in Sedona Arizona. Link in bio!

Bagged my 3rd @nueraceseries 1st Place in pursuit of the 2022 100K title yesterday. It was great to COMPLETE this course as I DNF'ed in 2020 w/ a broken crank. The race went perfectly so the better story exists with my team. These monsters! 2 1st's, a 2nd, a 4th, a 5th, a notable leap forward in the pro field for Ry. Now in the heart of the race season our yearlong hard work is showing off! Photo Cred: @amyjohnsonphotography

This summer, I decided to level UP! On the mountain bike. Literally and figuratively. It started with signing up for the daunting Firecracker 50 race in Breckenridge, Colorado. The classic mountain bike race that starts in the town’s festive 4th of July parade. 50 miles and 7k feet of elevation gain. Two 25 mile loops. Lotta badasses from my MTB team @noridearound have killed it in this race, and I wanted to do the same!
How to prepare? Riding, racing, continuing to get out there and ride, longer, harder? Pretty good, sure. But I knew…for a race like this….I needed to do a LOT more.
So I signed up for mountain bike boot camp with @dawntoduskmtb that advertises “not your weekend warriors with a beer in the parking lot after a casual 8 mile loop”. When you sign up, you are expected to ride like you are racing, push hard, workout, and dig deep in your soul to figure who you are and why you are there.
Did I survive? Yes. Did I find camaraderie with others? Yes! Did I push myself like never before? For sure! Did I have fun?! The best! Did I ride fast and carry my bike across a river, while experiencing the most amazing natural beauty and wonder that Colorado can provide? Definitely! And most importantly - did I get better?!
I believe so…but the big race was still to come….
So this past Monday, I raced as a duo with our fearless NoRA leader and founder of D2D, Justin Holle. (who believed in me…after all, I did survive his camp 😛)
He smoked his lap, like the pro MTB racer that he is, and I raced the second lap like never before! Finished strong! Lot of PRs (for you Strava junkies)
The joy and accomplishment that came from all the hard work - wow - full of gratitude. Mind, Body. Community. ❤️ Kicking ass!
And Mom was with me, cheering me on, every pedal of the way. 🥰

If you want to get better at mountain biking, have fun, and be a badass - head over to www.dawntoduskmtb.com
Do it!

And to be an athlete on the bike, requires a solid fitness regimen off the bike. Thanks to Denver based @e3fitness for all the years of training that got me out there in the first place!

#wildlife defined this #costarica🇨🇷 adventure. We got within a foot from a sloth, a viper, a capuchin monkey and we watched parrots, parakeets, and toucans buzz our heads. We paddled, pedaled, and plodded our way across the country fueled by coffee and plantains. #nailedit

The Firecracker 50. A TEAM event for @noridearound where we are greater than our sum. Where I get to share an "I didn't think I'd ever belong enough to do this" moment with @map_adventure . Where we fill our cups as a #mtbcommunity . Swipe right for the good pics!

La Ruta trip day 2. Woke up for breakfast buffet, went to packet pick up, kind of forced @alex_howes into a group pic, built bikes, went for a shake out ride, visited a bike shop, wrapped it all up for an early night. 2:30a wake up call comes quick for Stage 1

La Ruta trip day 1 photo dump. Woke up ass early, had to run to one plane in Houston only to sit on the tarmac for over an hour. Got to San Jose, picked up a van that didn’t REALLY fit everything, make the trek to Jaco, stoped to feed some crocs and boogied the rest of the way to our accommodations on the west coast. #racelaruta #costarica
