this is why i ride

I may be the athlete on the bike but could never ride w/out the support of beloved family & friends. Esp ones who wrap my #feedzoneportables like a champion & give tasty rice cake handups. #rapha #raphawomen #ridetogether #cyclelikeagirl #womenscycling #skratchlabs #fromskratch #tbt #nofilter #latergram #mymomisthebest #lizardskins #bikeonscott #pixelpowered #kedge #garmin #strava #strive #stravacycling #ridefastliveSLO

#TBT to halfway through last Sunday's @rapha #Womens100 - always a good moment when cookies are involved! #isitfridayyet #raphawomen #cookiepowered #skratchlabs #fromskratch #artsambassador #strongher #poc #pocsports #stravacycling #womenscycling

#TBT to twinning w/a foggy capped mountain peak. #bishopspeak #pocsports #poc #rapha #raphawomen #raphawomens100 #womens100 #skratchlabs #latergram #artsambassador #ridefastliveslo

Today was tomorrow yesterday. To be present in the moment? Such a gift. #motivationmonday #attitudeofgratitude #smilebecauseithappened #ayearofrising #rapha #raphawomen #poc #pocsports #skratchlabs #womens100 #morrobay #fromwhereiride #womenscycling #artsambassador #ridefastliveslo

Did your SAG wagon have furry friends giving sloppy kisses as a hand up? I thought not... #puppypoweredpeloton #womens100 #latergram #raphawomen #pocsports #poc #skratchlabs #ednavalley #nofilter

Best. SAG. Ever. #puppypoweredpeloton #raphawomen #womens100 #ilovemymom #rapha #womenscycling #labradoodle #ittakesavillage #skratchlabs

Wrapping #skratchlabs cookies for the #womens100 like a champ. And adding a lot of love in every fold. Because mothers are the Best.SAG.Support.Ever. No matter how old you are. #ittakesavillage #feedzoneportables #cookiepowered #womenscycling #tasterealperformance #raphawomen

When you're planning to ride together in the #womens100, you fuel w/a serious smorgasbord extravaganza of delight! #skratchlabs #tasterealperformance #fromskratch #raphawomen #rapha #artsambassador #womenscycling #cookiepowered #wafflesformiles #feedzoneportables

#Womens100 prep is serious. Seriously fun & #fromskratch! #butcoffeefirst #skratchlabs #tasterealperformance

This moment during the 2015 @Rapha #Womens100: unforgettable. So many teachable kilometers, countless lessons learned w/every meter of climbing. This imperfect selfie serves to remind me: you're capable of more than you think if you keep trying...keep going...keep pedaling...keep on keeping on! Learn your own lessons this Sunday!

What...is your name? What...is your quest? What...is your favorite color? #pixelpower #skratchlabs #allthecolors #artsy #artintheeveryday #fromskratch

Do the thing you think you can't. Everyday. Then one day, your impossible dream will be your warm up. And you'll realize your 100% effort really was only 40% of what you're truly capable & the 60% more you find to give will change your life. Join the challenge this Sunday w/over 8,000 women. Ride alone, or together, but ride.
