It’s hard to believe that the new whip landed on our front porch eight weeks ago. This was a long anticipated arrival of the new mountain bike and 2024 Leadville 100 steed. If you listen to The Bounce Forward Podcast and my tribute to my mom, or go back and read the...

Hello, Be Audacious family. We hope this finds you well, in good form and leaning into spring. Spring in our part of the world (Southwestern Montana), means a return of our winged friends, teasings of succulence on the landscape, and a steady dose of long rides on...

I can’t believe it’s May 1 already. Where did April go!? I had to lean really heavily on my mental performance tool-kit/quiver this April. There were many times this past month where I felt the imposter part getting loud, when I found myself in react mode (generally...

Dear Friends and Family, As most of you know, I’m a storyteller with a deep love for riding my mountain bike, especially in big and wild places. I’ve always had a need for movement—keeping my body in motion and thankfully I have a bountiful bride and strong daughter...

Happy autumn solstice (I unplugged for five days so I’m a little late to the fall party). I tipped off a big (for me) 5-day, fourteen-hour bike block on Saturday, in celebration of autumn solstice. Even though I call it the autumn funk—as I love riding that summer...
