Got to spend another special weekend in the mountains last weekend for the @truckeetahoegravel race! Loved coming back to this race and getting to revisit all of my favorite Truckee gravel. Thanks @bikemonkey for the stellar day!

Also so fun to be out there the same weekend as Western States, to visit with running friends, and get to have my annual catch up with @victormoraw ! 😊

So thankful to my cousins for the wonderful place to stay, and for the opportunities to have and share these experiences. Not much makes me feel more alive than spending beautiful summer days in the mountains with friends!

Berkeley….

Two years of studying, of bikes, of dancing, of new friendships, of old friendships, of heartbreak, of grief, of unbridled joy, and of daring to dream big.

It’s the end of a chapter. Yes, I’m sad it’s over, but I’m so, so glad it happened.

Some of the best moments of the year thus far were had on this beautiful weekend spent in Sonoma for the King Ridge race.

A compilation of my favorite things in life: time with the best of friends, beautiful scenery, racing and riding, delicious food, flowers and a refreshing dip in the Russian River. So thankful to have and share these experiences. ❤️

Looking forward to the last race of the @grasshopperadventureseries tomorrow on one of my favorite courses!

Spent last weekend soaking up all forms of sunshine in Santa Barbara - bike rides, beach time, delicious food, lots of ice cream and just some real quality time with the friends who are now family.

Always fun to get to revisit places I’ve been numerous times, yet to experience them and share them in a new light. ✨

This year’s edition of Cat’s Hill - the 50th - was brutal. Not too many premeditated celebrations, as riders were just grateful to pull out the W.

@mctubbbin won the men’s pro field with a last lap attack, just after the breakaway was finally caught.

Thanks to @sjbcracing for organizing such a great event @catshillclassic

CEO CLUB is officially live!

20 handpicked founders and VCs in the room: Founder who raised $100M at seed/Series A. VCs who backed the hottest companies in Silicon Valley like Higgsfield and Micro1. Big tech SVP. W26 @ycombinator companies we knew would be the ones to watch.

Mid-dinner, a founder pulls out his laptop—because the work doesn't stop.
That's CEO CLUB.

Michelin-trained chef. Private venue. One minute you're talking about Disneyland, the next you're solving a bug so your customer can process million-dollar transactions.

This isn't another founder dinner where people swap LinkedIn profiles and ghost each other by Tuesday.

It's a curated series connecting the sharpest founders with the VCs writing meaningful checks and the builders who need what you're making. Breakout sessions. Real intros. A community that actually picks up where dinner left off.
You weren't in the room. But next time? That could change.

CEO CLUB by Venture with Grace.

None of this happens without our incredible partners @trust_vanta and @WilmerHale.

Thank you for believing in this vision and making CEO CLUB possible. 🙏

It’s not all puppy dogs and rainbows (thanks @championfactory ) but I’ve had plenty of reasons to break into spontaneous happy dances lately.

I’ve been chasing sunrises, sunsets, and new opportunities lately. Nothing is ever guaranteed, so I’m just grateful to see what might be. I’m already looking forward to 2026!
