Life this year has been particularly great. Here’s basically what I’ve been up to on a daily basis. 😎

I overcome my trepidation of biking across a 12 foot huge rock drainage barrier between me and my morning coffee. I get to clown on camera. Give it a watch – it’s only 40 seconds! 🤗

Well, we upgraded my gravel bike “Candy” to be a MUCH better climbing bike (really we turned it from a “cyclocross” bike to a super-light gravel bike). After upgrading the tires, we upgraded the rear cassette (and derailleur) and front chainring.

One Gravel Race; Two nights camping; 62 miles. OMG I just biked my longest off-road ever – by a long shot! (This is also my first bike race ever).

Woohoo! After months of research and testing two gravel bikes, I fell in love with the 2022 Trek Boone. Eighteen months (!) to get it in Cali; but Hunter found the exact bike I wanted in a Salt Lake City bike store –> ROAD TRIP!

Wow. OMG. Words. Just had the insanely ambitous and most fun bikeride I’ve had in 15 years!

I haven’t been off-road, really in 25 years (with brief…
