If there’s one connecting theme to the past week of making my way back home, it’s BUDDIES. 🫶 📣 KELOWNA FRIENDS: I’m back in town and stoked to be presenting a recap of my record-breaking Tour Divide at @chainlinecycle on October 1st! Cape Girardeau, Missouri ➡️ Port Orford, Oregon Who wants to join me for a weekend of epic West Kootenay gravel? And that’s a wrap! 🙌 From the mighty Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean, I’ve cycled @adventurecycling’s entire Golden Gravel Trail. I’m not the first—and certainly not the fastest—but it’s been a journey I’ll remember for a long, long time. Down to the final week on @adventurecycling’s Golden Gravel Trail! One of my fave things about the Golden Gravel Trail is how it overlaps with other routes. And for 170 gorgeous miles, I got to pedal @adventurecycling’s Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route. This one has been on my radar for years, so getting to ride part of it now turned out to be a real highlight. 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!

I fell for this style of adventure cycling so hard and decided to upgrade my wheelset in 2022 to get even more out of the experience. […]
