Enduro Ain’t Dead
The North American Enduro Cup (NAEC) is, in my opinion, the premier enduro event in North America, featuring a full two days of racing, fresh-cut stages, and a wide variety of terrain that attracts the top talent from all over the U.S. (and internationally) to the small town of Kellogg, Idaho. For the second year…
Same, but Different: Back to BCBR
I first competed in the BC Bike Race in 2024, thanks to the support of Rocky Mountain Bikes, and in the process, formed a new posse of friends. When we saw that the 2026 edition of BCBR would be the final race in the traditional 7-day format, some of us decided that we would reunite…
Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship: May Update
Race season is here, and some of the Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship recipients have already completed their target events, and others are hard at work training for later-season races. Here’s a short update from each of them! Wormhole Tasha Roemer Tasha raced the Wormhole 50k last weekend. She finished second in open women for the…
Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship: Spring Update
It’s March already (how did that happen?!) and races are inching closer, and the women of the Ride Fierce Racing scholarship are hard at work training for their events. Here’s a short update from each of them! Wormhole Tasha Roemer I’ve been training hard for the wormhole race in April. I got a short break…
TransNZ Enduro
Hot diggity dawg—what a great week on bikes! I’m sitting on the flight home (or, more accurately, one of FOUR flights to get from New Zealand back to Virginia) after finishing the TransNZ Enduro, a 6-day blind enduro stage race on the South Island of New Zealand. The short version is that the race was…
Meet the 2026 Ride Fierce Race Scholarship Recipients!
Wow, wow, wow. Everything about the Ride Fierce Race Scholarship is still a bit overwhelming to me. What started as a pipe dream to get a few more women at the start lines of some of my regional mountain bike races has expanded beyond anything I ever thought possible. This year, there were 33 applicants…
Back for 2026: The Ride Fierce Women’s Race Scholarship
Last year, I launched the Ride Fierce Women’s Race Scholarship. My hope was that I would be able to help a few women overcome a few of the barriers that may have prevented them from otherwise doing their first mountain bike race. With the help of a few friends and sponsors, I was able to…
Singletrack is my superpower
I don’t know why this is the phrase that came to mind as I started the Marji Gesick 100-mile mountian bike race in Marquette, Michigan last weekend, but I grabbed onto it and added it to “Stay Curious” and “Be Patient” as my mantras for the day. This spring, as I was determining my race…
j’adore ça ici
Correct me if you speak French, but I think that means “I love it here.” It’s been years since I spent time in Europe, and it really is addicting. I’m sitting in the Zurich airport now, waiting to board my flight back to the U.S. and already scheming how I can come back and spend…
