It’s finally summer here in PA and the gravel is so good! Repping @visitjamaica (peep the back of the jersey) and already thinking about where I’ll ride gravel in the winter. Comment or DM if you’re interested in a winter gravel escape to reggae paradise with hosts, yours truly and @peteraldridgeofficial 🇯🇲 🚵‍♀️ . @velojawncoaching

We’re back! Reunited with @emmitabanks and it feels so good 🥰 Aside from the snake interruption we had a lovely gravel ride after not riding together since late October?! Emma was kinda preoccupied training and racing a 50 mile trail run 😳 . @velojawncoaching @schwalbetires @visitjamaica @nittanymountainworks @varlo.apparel

Snake chronicles 😬🐍 What’s your strategy when you come across a rattlesnake on the bike? . @velojawncoaching @schwalbetires @visitjamaica @nittanymountainworks @varlo_apparel

Happy Friday! Where is everyone riding this weekend?! 📚✏️Things I realized while making this video: 💡 I LOVE this crazy fun kit and matching helmet combo. 💡 I am old and learning new tech is hard 😂 💡My “phone a friend network” is the best and I treasure them. Thanks @tedontwo & @ambilenky 🥰 💡 Its time for new lens covers after a few too many drops in Jamaica. . @velojawncoaching �@schwalbetires @visitjamaica �@nittanymountainworks �@varlo.apparel

I wasn’t planning on posting this video since it was a wet one and my camera lens got me all the raindrop footage. Butttt since a rainy day in Puerto Rico > rainy day in Central PA…. 🌧️ 🌴 This was Palmer to Fajardo via the scenic backroads 😍 . @velojawncoaching �@schwalbetires @visitjamaica �@nittanymountainworks �@varlo.apparel

It’s time for my regularly scheduled “why isn’t it warm yet?!” post. This time with a video to re-live the sunshine from our PBE Squad getaway in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 Is there still such a thing as a #latergram? I hope so, bc this is a couple of months old 😬 These posts will continue until Spring comes and stays for good. Thanks for putting up with me 😂 And if you’re looking for a warm weather cycling retreat/training camp/vacation, @gabriel0rtiz is the host with the most-est! ❤️ . @velojawncoaching @schwalbetires @visitjamaica @nittanymountainworks @varlo_apparel

Still pretty bare out there but my new kit and helmet is all Spring 💐 . Tested the @abus_cycling_usa Airbreaker 2.0 for the first time and it passed with flying colors! Speaking of colors, I LOVE this one. And it matches so good with the 15th Anniversary kit design. Aside from looks, this helmet is ultralight, comfortable and has strategically placed ventilation. Had to throw my personalized sticker on there, courtesy of @tedontwo . . @velojawncoaching

Struggle face vs happy face. Who wore it best? 😂 Last weekend at @transsylvaniaproductions Bald Eagle Gravel Grinder! Challenging but beautiful course! We missed @ryanf_mtbracing but we got to see @quadsworth instead! . @velojawncoaching

DIRTCAST🎙️ Bearcat caught up with bike enthusiast and @phillybikeexpo owner @binab85 to discuss how her love of cycling and the cycling culture led to the creation of the expo 15 years ago. New Dirtcast episodes are live. Go listen wherever you get your podcasts — Spotify, Apple, YouTube Music, Amazon, and more. If your streaming app exists, we’re probably on it 🤙

With the year almost over I thought it was fitting to reminisce on some of the highlights from 2025. (Also it’s 🥶 here so I wanted to revisit some warmer days, even if only in my mind.) One of the highlights of this past year was being able to participate in @visitjamaica ’s Pedal Power for Jamaica initiative. A post Hurricane Melissa relief ride to support the communities that always support us on our cycling adventures in Jamaica. Day 1 was a day of inspiration, connecting with folks, dropping off supplies, pushing myself, getting pushed, and lots of struggle faces. @visitjamaica and their cycling partners will be at the Philly Bike Expo in March so be sure to say hi and find out all about cycling vacations in paradise 🚴🏼‍♀️🌴 🚴🏾 If you’d like to assist in the ongoing relief efforts please visit this link. Also posted in bio. /blog/post/how-to-support-local-recovery-in-jamaica-after-hurricane-melissa/ Don’t blame me for the weird video effects at the end, blame AI 😂 I’m sick and didn’t feel like messing with CapCut. Where’s my full time video editor at? 😩 . 15th Annual Philly Bike Expo 🗓️ March 14 & 15, 2026 #phillybikeexpo #pbe2026 #pbesquad

Happy birthday to my OG riding/running/hike a bike buddy, @ambilenky 🥳 Always willing to start the ride late, ride the unknown long route, carry my bike up the rock walls and make the tea. Five out of five recommend adventure riding with your brother. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
