๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Wore my Ramstein jersey from Germany today, and it brought back memories. Four months riding overseas, learning a new cycling culture, and meeting kind peopleโ€”this kit still makes me smile. #cycling #fitness #travel #germany

Third place today in the Pro 1/2/3 field at Rumble at Roebling Raceway! Fast, flat circuit. Not my usual kind of race, but I stayed aggressive and made the final move stick. Proud of the fight. Time to recover and refocus. #cycling #health #fitness #racing

๐Ÿ‘ต Shoutout to the Grandmas! ๐Ÿ’Œ A message from the bike: If youโ€™re a grandma and youโ€™re watching this, thank you for being awesome. We appreciate the love, the snacks, and your good vibes. Hope this made you smile. #fitness #family#grandma #love

๐Ÿฆ… Rocking the Team USA kit back in Charleston ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ after snow in South Dakota, heat in Jersey, a wedding, and breakfast with family. What a ride! #cycling #fitness #travel

๐ŸŒ„ Spearfish Canyon at 4:56 AM ๐ŸŒ… Quiet gravel. Cold air. Slow sunrise set to โ€œBloomโ€ by ODESZA. Some mornings feel like poetry on two wheels. #outdoors #fitness #cycling #MorningVibes

๐Ÿค“ Youโ€™ve never seen mental math like a cyclist deep in a Sweetspot interval. One-tenth. One-fifth. Halfway. Suddenly youโ€™re Rainman on wheels. ๐Ÿง  #cycling #funny #fitness

๐Ÿ’Œ Spinning circles and soaking up the first real week off in a while. This rideโ€™s reminder: reach out to someone you love. A simple โ€œHiโ€ might mean more than you think. ๐ŸŒž #fitness #Health

๐ŸŒ Five-hour Fourth of July ride with peanut butter pretzels, an apple, and a banana in the pockets. Fuel like a freak, snack like a pro. Also: watch Independence Day today. ๐ŸŽ‡ #FourthOfJuly

๐Ÿ’™ I lost a good friend to suicide this week. He mattered. You matter. If youโ€™re doing well, reach out to someone. If youโ€™re struggling, please stay. We need you. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ #Mentalhealth

๐ŸŒŸ Just got a bike sponsor for the UCI Gravel World Championships! Huge thanks to West Point Cycles for the Trek Checkmate SLR. Letโ€™s go! ๐Ÿšจ #cycling #fitness #sports

๐Ÿ˜ญ I cried this week, but for the best reason. I qualified for the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championshipsโ€ฆand now, thanks to new sponsors, Iโ€™m actually going!!!! ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ #Cycling #travel

๐ŸŒŸ After five days on the road, Iโ€™ve arrived in Spearfish, SDโ€”one of my top-three favorite places in the U.S. The journey from Bentonville has been long, but the beauty of Spearfish Canyon makes it all worthwhile. ๐ŸŒŸ #travel #cycling

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ This might be the least scenic part of the trip so far, but thereโ€™s still time to be proven wrong. Tell me whatโ€™s good about the Great Plains. ๐ŸŒพ #cycling #travel

๐ŸŒ Spinning past the Wisconsin State Capitol while swapping bikes for my next Trek Travel trip. From the Ozarks to Madison, every ride countsโ€”especially the ones behind the scenes. ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ #cycling #travel

๐Ÿ„ Rode past a loose cow in War Eagle, Arkansas. Captioned it โ€œUdderly ridiculous.โ€ Then crossed the historic War Eagle Bridge. Two moods, one ride. ๐Ÿž๏ธ #animals #cycling

๐Ÿง Endurance myth: You must ride long and slow to build fitness. Truth: intervals work too. Absolute fact: a dumb handlebar mustache makes you 5% faster. ๐Ÿ’จ #fitness #funny #cycling

๐Ÿข Came across three turtles during my ride today. At this point Iโ€™m just a guy on a turtle mission with occasional cycling breaks in between. ๐Ÿ˜‚ #cycling #animals #fitness

๐ŸŒ„ 102 miles. 3 states. Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Dogs, dirt, detours, and one cold start that turned into a sun-soaked grind. Finished strong. ๐Ÿ’ช #cycling #vlog

๐Ÿข Mid-ride turtle rescue. Again. I love these little guys. Picked one up, helped it across the road, and yeahโ€ฆ gave it a little air kiss for the road. ๐Ÿ’š #cute #animals

๐Ÿฅ‡Just won the Lowcountry Cross Country MTB Pro Menโ€™s race! Took the front, turned it up lap by lap, and let the power do the work. Iโ€™m pumped! ๐Ÿšตโ€โ™‚๏ธ #Cycling #MTB #mountainbike
