Me and October.
I can't deny it, we've had a thing going on for years.

I never really planned it, but somehow,
October always finds a way to leave a mark on me.

It has brought me people I never expected to meet, places I never thought I’d go, journeys I never knew I needed, and moments that quietly changed the person I was becoming.

Some were beautiful. Some were unexpected. Some made absolutely no sense at the time. But looking back, a lot of them somehow led me here.

So I guess October has earned its own little corner in my story.

Let’s see what you’ve got this time.

Wonderful trip up to the Mt John Observatory at Lake Tekapo in New Zealand last night, from 2AM to 4AM. I realized how little I know about stars and spotting constellations, and keen to learn more!

A great first opportunity to try out the Sony A7V's low light capabilities - I just upgraded from the A7IV here, to chase handheld stabilization and lowlight performance for a project this summer. I was not disappointed.

These shots are all handheld - F1.4, 1/3, ISO 1000 (A7V second base ISO for photos) - and unedited besides a slight exposure boost, which I'll work on getting right in-camera.

Riding into 2026 like 😁😁😁

Baby’s firsts of 2025:
First time clipping in (thanks for the encouragement mom)
First time riding a century
First time attending a cyclocross race
Then immediately participating in my first cyclocross race (thanks for creating a welcoming space @obf415cc)
First time riding an ultra endurance event (what a wonderful odyssey @japanese_odyssey )
First time taking my bike apart… and putting it back together again (thanks to everyone that held my hand)
First time taking my bike on an airplane
A not fun first:
First run in with cow parsnip (Hopefully my last run in. Look it up. Don’t touch it. Thank me later.)

I didn’t do a single one of these things alone.

I’m ready for seconds. I’m hungry for more. I’m eager to live.

I hope to see you up the road in 2026

Been meaning to make a post dedicated to food in Japan, because honestly, it really is that good. From konbinis and street stalls to those small, humble restaurants, nothing ever disappoints.

Even after the craziest, most sleep deprived Odyssey days, a Japanese meal could reset your whole soul. Comforting, clean, and somehow always exactly what our body needed.

Ultracycling through Japan felt like unlocking a new side quest everyday; Ride, get destroyed, eat something amazing, recover, repeat.

Ahhh… I already miss konbini 😩

May was so lovely and sunny and busy I’ve only just started looking at pictures from various fun times

Couple of snaps from a lovely family trip to Eigg and a sunny Scottish bikepacking trip with wonderful friends from the Komoot Arizona women’s bike rally

Noobing Around the World Part 2: Edinburgh together

In which:

- our bikes arrive safely
- we discover our main off-the-bike outfits identically match and will do so for some time, as pointed out now by 3 people
- I finally appreciate the outdoors of Edinburgh at the top of Arthur Seat having only been up there twice in the 4 years I previously lived there
- we catch up with old friend and bandmate @vondoddsandco and pet some clouds
- we build our bikes in the park and I rapidly rediscover why you must always do a shakedown ride as my bike is dangerously unrideable.

More to come.

Holler up the big climbs, and fly down the front, learn which limit screw does what, sleep under the stars, howl at the coyotes, and eat so much oatmeal, sugar, instant potatoes, pickles and clif bars they all become one. 8 days/ 650km of biking through the desert with 60 humans is a pretty special thing. Rallying is an act of resistance 💛

Big love to @laelwilcox @rugilekaladyte @mpmassagetherapy @mindride.ibk @gofastergaby @ashleygruber and @komoot for challenging us all and bringing us together in a time where so much feels so bleak. It is a week i'll treasure in my heart forever 🥰🌵 #kwar2024

Desert memories! Thank you @ashleygruber for these photos.

A month ago we headed out on this crazy @komoot adventure also known as the Komoot Women’s Arizona Rally, and we are all still glowing about it. ☺️

1-2. Cold morning, you can see my breath
3. All the ladies
4. My hobo setup
5. My vegetables that fell out as soon as we hit big girl gravel, and @laelwilcox picked them up and brought them to me😳🤦‍♀️
6. Final miles of asphalt before
7. Hitting gravel not knowing what lies ahead…

Won’t stop sharing until all the photos are here. 😝 I can only tag 20 people in the post, but everyone I met was a wonderful and fierce person.

i got to share 8 days and 400 miles of riding my bike through the desert with 60 incredible women.

it was a week of extremes and contradictions, to say the least.

we woke up every morning with frozen toes and fingers, and by afternoon we were searching desperately for shade to escape the heat.

i moved my body more consistently than i have in a long time, and i ate more gas station candy and fried foods than i should have.

we moved through landscapes that changed every day, from snowy mountain peaks, to stately saguaros, to stunning rock formations at the mexican border.

we cheered each other up hard climbs and whooped our way down the wicked descents.

we shared raucous laughter at snack stops and vulnerable stories around the fire.

we howled at the moon and we toasted to our journey with whiskey and hot dogs.

i’m coming back from this trip exhausted yet motivated, depleted yet full in the heart. it was just what i needed this week - challenge and simplicity, campfires and community.

thanks so much to the inimitable @laelwilcox and @komoot for hosting such an empowering event. just keep pedalin 🚲

September is typically a good month for @eastbaybikeparty - rhe days are a little shorter, the weather is still reasonable, and the burners have just returned from the playa and are stoked to keep that party vibe going. Also, @claisam was leading this one - she's been doing it for a bit, and always picks good routes.

So I couldn't miss it 🙂

Should have taken more pics of some great costumes and creative bikes, but I guess I was a little busy enjoying the moment. Evidently my balance improves the more I drink, as it somehow gets easier to ride with no hands as the night goes on.

Afterwards Charlotte told me she thinks I'm one of the "hardest partiers". I haven't figured out if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet, but for the past 10 or so of bike parties, it's been a fun thing - and I'm good with that 😊

So I was running behind on Friday evening, missed two different train transfers (arriving on one train as the train i needed pulled away), and wondered if @eastbaybikeparty just wasn't in the cards for me.

I thought about it for a bit - I had the route, a bike, and nothing else to do that evening. So why not try anyway?

Somehow, it all worked out 😊
