New whip Wednesday! Welcome to the family “Sugar

New whip Wednesday! Welcome to the family “Sugar Plum”! I am beyond stoked to be riding #SRAM AXS shifting and the #RockShox Reverb AXS dropper! Electronic is so siiick! Plus the Lyrik fork and Super Deluxe shock, Stans Flow MK3 wheels with Maxxis Minions, Deity Ridgeline bars with the Copperhead stem and the Black Kat pedals! This #norcosight is my first 29er and I have to say not only is she the most decked out bike I’ve ever had, but she’s fast and she can corner and jump like a boss! 😻🤘#fastfunfierce #newwhip

I love needing out over cornering! There are so many ingredients to make a tasty turn. Here we was focused on the foot wedge which makes the lean so balanced and effortless. Thanks for the reminder on that @muthalucksta ⚡️

I’m not going to lie, I’m struggling a bit rig

I’m not going to lie, I’m struggling a bit right now I really miss shredding bikes with friends! I’ve done a pretty good job of adapting and staying busy during the lockdown. I’ve been running 3 book clubs (I’ve never even been to a book club). I’ve been doing weekly wheelie practice with friends (I’ve got up to 8 pedals). I’ve been leading weekly workouts for friends and the Elite team, and have @coach_danielh leading team workouts. I’ve been taking the Yale happy class. I’m getting 3 new tattoos thanks to the Kat Tat art contest. And I’m videoing and editing how-to kids vids which I have a great team of people helping out with. All of this with the help of zoom and the virtual world. As an extrovert and super social butterfly and 2 months in on social distancing, I’m hurting a bit. I really miss real life people, real life riding with friends, I miss the kids on my teams and in my community, I miss all of you, I miss hugs, I miss Coal kitty and I miss my family. Focusing on gratitude helps, I’m grateful for all of the amazing people and things going on in my life, I’m grateful for my health, for the forest, and for bikes. We all need to hang in there a little bit longer. If you have any quotes or words of wisdom please send them over. In the mean time I’m sending you all virtual hugs. 😻🚲

The buckets were still up at 1:30 when I left the park Saturday! I’m impressed Duthie riders! I think I we did a good job staying off the jump trails and keeping distance! Now we need to keep that up for a bit. We can do it!

Yay Duthie is open! Here’s the deal, we need to

Yay Duthie is open! Here’s the deal, we need to adhere to the 10 safety rules listed from Evergreen. If we don’t King County could close the park back up. A couple of things stand out to me that I want to emphasize. • Please don’t bring your friends with you. Just your household. • I know we like to spend hours and hours at Duthie, make it a quick trip. • Really pull out of the way of other riders. If you’re catching another rider on the trail, chill, don’t get too close. Skip the Strava. • Let’s keep it moving, I know we all like to stop and chill between laps or in the parking lot, plus we are all going to be so excited to see each other. But this is not the time to socialize. That’s going to be especially hard for me. • Wear a mask/ buff/ bandana and pull it up anytime you stop. Mine is super stylish of course. • And very important, if you love jumping bikes as much as I do, please don’t go to Duthie! The Freeride trails are closed and it’s going to be really hard to resist temptation. I get it, believe me.
Yes Duthie is my office and yes I’d really like to start working again sooner than later. But Duthie is also my sanctuary, it’s my sanity (and insanity), it’s my social time, and it’s a place where I can make a difference in my community.
If you are on the same page as me, let’s do our best to keep Duthie open and to keep each other safe.

Thank you and I really can’t wait to see all of you, even if we can’t hang out quite yet.
