🇩🇪 Wore my Ramstein jersey from Germany today, and it brought back memories. Four months riding overseas, learning a new cycling culture, and meeting kind people—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

🦅 Rocking the Team USA kit back in Charleston 🇺🇸 after snow in South Dakota, heat in Jersey, a wedding, and breakfast with family. What a ride! #cycling #fitness #travel

🌄 Spearfish Canyon at 4:56 AM 🌅 Quiet gravel. Cold air. Slow sunrise set to “Bloom” by ODESZA. Some mornings feel like poetry on two wheels. #outdoors #fitness #cycling #MorningVibes

🌊 Waves rise and fall like life itself. Today I felt joy and loss all at once, and that’s the ride, no? 🌊 #fitness #life

🤓 You’ve never seen mental math like a cyclist deep in a Sweetspot interval. One-tenth. One-fifth. Halfway. Suddenly you’re Rainman on wheels. 🧠 #cycling #funny #fitness

💌 Spinning circles and soaking up the first real week off in a while. This ride’s reminder: reach out to someone you love. A simple “Hi” might mean more than you think. 🌞 #fitness #Health

🍌 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. 🎇 #FourthOfJuly

💙 I lost a good friend to suicide this week. He mattered. You matter. If you’re doing well, reach out to someone. If you’re struggling, please stay. We need you. 🕊️ #Mentalhealth

🌟 Just got a bike sponsor for the UCI Gravel World Championships! Huge thanks to West Point Cycles for the Trek Checkmate SLR. Let’s go! 🚨 #cycling #fitness #sports

😭 I cried this week, but for the best reason. I qualified for the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships…and now, thanks to new sponsors, I’m actually going!!!! 🇳🇱

🐢 Woke up early for a Saturday morning work call… then it got cancelled. At least the gravel was on time. 🥲 #cycling #fitness #travel

🌟 After five days on the road, I’ve arrived in Spearfish, SD—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. 🌟 #travel #cycling

🌬️ This might be the least scenic part of the trip so far, but there’s still time to be proven wrong. Tell me what’s good about the Great Plains. 🌾 #cycling #travel

🌍 Spinning past the Wisconsin State Capitol while swapping bikes for my next Trek Travel trip. From the Ozarks to Madison, every ride counts—especially the ones behind the scenes. 🚴‍♂️ #cycling #travel

🌄 After five incredible weeks guiding Trek Travel in Bentonville, I’m saying goodbye to this off-road cycling gem. What a ride. 🐗 #travel #cycling

🎧 Caught dancing mid-ride to Bassnectar. Serious training needs silly moments. Be different. Be free. 🌀 #fun #cycling #dancing

🐄 Rode past a loose cow in War Eagle, Arkansas. Captioned it “Udderly ridiculous.” Then crossed the historic War Eagle Bridge. Two moods, one ride. 🏞️ #animals #cycling

🍕🪙 Bitcoin Pizza Day:
On this date in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by paying 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas✌️.
Converted to today's Bitcoin price, those two pizzas would be valued at over $1.1 billion! #Cycling

I love this art, especially the first piece by @daveshrobe titled, “Nature of Myself” (2018).
Acrylic, ink, and charcoal on canvas. #Art

⚡ Sprayed Red Bull on a chasing dog, pulled a nail from my tire, and crushed a brownie to keep going. Ride chaos level: maximum. 🍫 #fitness #cycling
