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…
PMBAR
The Pisgah Mountain Bike Adventure Race (PMBAR) is a race I’ve heard about for a number of years, but never actually been able to attend until now.

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…
Hindsight is 20/20
They say hindsight is 20/20, but that clarity never comes if you never take the time to reflect. It’s equally true that a single number, in isolation, cannot possibly tell a full story. Though it’s an exaggeration, I feel like, in the races that mattered, I finished last (or close to last) nearly every time…
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…
What is the Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship?
I asked the 2025 Ride Fierce Women’s Scholarship alumni to share a few words about their experiences… and this is what they had to say.
