Idaho has been good to me: one part epic scenery, one part fantastic people—add some local spuds and a dash of Napoleon Dynamite lore (please tell me I’m not the only person who spent their teenage years *obsessed* with that movie) and you have one very happy Golden Gravel cyclist. Hey everyone! I’m stoked to be heading to Rossland, BC, this September 26-27 for the @ggp_greyghostpursuit! ✨Golden Gravel Trail Q&A When I was planning to tour @adventurecycling’s Golden Gravel Trail, my brain was still stuck in race mode.

Moab marks the halfway point of @adventurecycling’s Golden Gravel Trail—or at least the midpoint in my two months on the road. Utah is also the only state on the entire route that I’ve never set foot or tire in before, and I’d really been looking forward to seeing all that famous red rock for myself. @silkroadmountainrace kicks off tomorrow, and I’m so excited to dotwatch! Colorado continues to amaze: from the big mountain views to the juicy peaches to the incredible people.
