What a day! 240 MILES DONE ✅

12hour8min, a new supported Katy Trail FKT.

Riding 240 miles is a long day no matter how you look at it, but doing a part of it in the dark was definitely an experience. There were a lot of highs and a lot of lows, but somehow I stayed pretty steady throughout the day.

There were moments when I went to some pretty dark places and had to fight some of my own demons. But we kept moving forward, and we came out on top.

This was an emotional day for me for a lot of reasons. I was in a really bad and dark place after my dad took his own life, had a lot of bad days, weeks and months but the people around me showed up and helped me through the grieving process! I thought about my dad a lot out there. We definitely had a difficult relationship, but at the end of the day, he was my dad. He raised me, taught me a lot, and he was a big part of making me who I am today.

Thank you for looking out for me yesterday, Dad. 🖤

I also could not have done this without the people around me.

Pattie, John, and Rickie, I leaned on you guys A LOT throughout those 12 hours. You probably don’t realize how much you helped me keep going, but I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for being there when things got hard and for believing in me when I needed it most.

Thank you to everyone at SBR for helping make this crazy project possible, everyone who came out, cheered, followed along, sent messages, shared the project, and especially everyone who donated.

This project was never just about riding 240 miles

We’re still working to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention through CHADS Coalition. It’s an incredible organization doing important work, and every dollar can help someone who needs it.

If there’s one thing I hope people take away from this, it’s this: You’re not alone. It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to have bad days. And you’re capable of a lot more than you think you are.

Sometimes you just have to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

Thanks to Redbull, Enve, Allied and everyone who was part of this journey. ❤️

James and I also put together a post-ride interview video that will be coming out soon…stay tuned👀

240 miles. One trail. One big reason to do it.
•
Next week, I’m taking on a 240-mile unsupported FKT attempt on the Katy Trail. But honestly, this project has never really been about the record.
•
It’s about mental health.
•
We’re doing this project to raise awareness and funds for CHADS Coalition for Mental Health, an organization doing incredible work in our youth community, helping young people navigate mental health struggles, giving families resources, and, most importantly, helping people know they’re not alone.
•
The fundraising side of this project is going to be incredibly important. If this ride can help CHADS reach more kids, support more families, or make even one person feel like they have somewhere to turn, then every mile will be worth it.
•
This project also wouldn’t be possible without some pretty incredible people.
•
Pattie, my wife and my biggest supporter. You’ve been there through every crazy idea, every long training day, and everything in between. I couldn’t do this without you.
•
John, thank you for connecting me with CHADS, but even more than that, thank you for being there for me when I really needed someone. Especially after losing my dad. That connection means more to me than I can put into words, and it’s a huge part of why this project is so personal.

James, Elise, and the entire crew at SBR, thank you for taking a completely ridiculous idea and building the Franken Bike that is going to carry me 240 miles down the Katy Trail. 😂 Without you guys, this project simply wouldn’t be possible.
•
And Ricky, thank you for being along for the ride and helping us document this whole thing. I’m excited to see what we’re able to create together.
•
There are a lot of moving parts to this project, but at the center of it is something much bigger than cycling.
•
Mental health matters. Asking for help matters. Showing up for people matters.
•
If you’re able to donate, share the project, or simply follow along and help spread the message, it would mean a lot.
•
240 miles is going to hurt.
•
But hopefully, those 240 miles can help make a difference for someone who needs it.
•
Let’s ride. ❤️

Brews Cafe might be a little tough to find— but trust me, it’s worth looking for. I mean check out their drinks!!

It’s tucked inside SBR Bikes right across from Narwhal’s, and this is genuinely one of the best coffee shops I’ve been to in STL.

Francisco takes so much care with every drink he makes. You can tell immediately that nothing here is generic— from the espresso to the homemade syrups, everything feels thought out. But what really stood out was how friendly everyone was. A great coffee shop is just as much about the people as the coffee, and Brews absolutely gets that right.

The raspberry chocolate latte might be the best chocolate coffee drink I’ve ever had. And their homemade lavender honey latte was just as good— floral without that bitter lavender taste and not overly sweet.

We tried everything from their cherry blossom Sakura matcha and horchata shaker to their espresso tonics— the blood orange tonic was SO refreshing. There are also tons of options if coffee isn’t your thing.

There’s plenty of seating, the bike shop atmosphere makes the whole place feel different, and it’s the kind of spot you actually want to hang around and talk.

That’s also why we love finding places like Brews for Mesh. Every week we pair groups of four in STL to meet at local coffee shops and actually get to know three new people.

Brews is top tier. Grab the raspberry chocolate latte, say hi to Francisco, and definitely check out the bike shop while you’re there.

POV: you found a date afternoon that checks ALL the boxes ☕️🍵🚲🌳

My husband and I spent an afternoon at @thebrewscafe trying a little bit of everything — lattes, smoothies, matcha; and then we grabbed bikes and hit the trail! 🚲

I love a spot that lets you turn a quick drink run into an entire afternoon, and Brews Cafe at @thedistrictstl definitely delivered.
With so many drink options + bikes to choose from, there’s plenty to explore whether you’re planning a casual date, getting outside with friends, or just looking for something fun to do.

📌 Save this for your next date day + tag your adventure buddy!
