Levi has a special exemption from social distancing that allows him to burst my personal space bubble any time he damn well pleases. And that is totally okay with me. #DogLoveIsTheBestLove 🐾 💜

Friday night lights with my favorite guys. ❤️✨ #DateNight #QuaranTeam #PodmatesForLife

I got to #PlayBikes today! ✨ My rides are few and far between these days (it’s been more than two weeks since I last rode outside) and the options are quite limited here at home, but I’m making the most of every opportunity I’m fortunate enough to have, whether that be a chance to sneak in a few miles worth of trail, or sweating it out on the trainer inside. Besides, when it comes to being on two wheels, there is always fun to be had if you know where to look for it. #DoWhatYouCanWithWhatYouveGot #FindTheFun

Happiness is a mountain top! 💙 So thankful to finally get back out for some much needed mountain time and fresh air after a very long week. #MountainTherapy #LifeIsBetterOutside #GoClimbAMountain #JustKeepYourDistance

In a world that feels heavy, confusing and pretty damn scary right now, I am so thankful to find consistency in this: My sanctuary remains the same as it has always been. Out on the trails, up high, among the trees, I find the solitude and calm that has gotten me through so many of life’s most challenging moments, and likewise set the stage for so many of its very best. This has always been my way to find a small window of distance and space from the rest of the world; a place where I seek both respite and joy. I’m cherishing the gift of open space, and my ability to get out there, a little extra right now. I know for so many this isn’t a possibility in the current environment, and it’s not a privilege I take lightly. (Likewise, I don’t take lightly my responsibility to self-isolate, and have been home-bound aside from these small windows to take in fresh air and rack up a few miles, sans contact!) #SocialDistancing #ButStillRunning #SoloMiles #SelfIsolatingIsCool #OutsideIsAlwaysOpen

FRESH AIR. 🙌 #RideYourBike #OutsideIsFree #MountainPlayground #FromTwoWheels

It’s never enough time (and it never really could be), but I loved every second of being back home in California for a few days last week. Happy to be able to share this place I love so very much with friends, and even more happy to be able to get Levi back to his old stomping grounds one more time! Truckee, you are the most special place, and for me you will always and forever be HOME. 💙 #TruckeeLove #Tahome #CaliforniaDreaming #HappiestPlace #MyHeart☀️ ❄️ 🌲 🏔 💕

Such a fun day romping around the desert on two wheels and soaking in some sunshine. ☀️ Thanks @andersonis and @brysontross! Absolutely loving being back on the bike! #BikesAreRad #KeepItFun

After a great first ride of the season in the high desert yesterday, today it’s back to the snow and skinny skis in the mountains. ❄️ ✨ Multi-sport weekends are the BEST! #ColoRADo #MountainPlayground #RideYourBike #NordicSki #PlayAllTheWays #HaveAllTheFun
