What a game! Watching the magic of @michelleicooper and @temwa556 is 🤯
And check it … TC6 getting a late start in the season, then blasting up to #2 in the golden boot race with Coop moving onto the leader board for the assists. @kccurrent getting those football legs going!

We chatted with @king_iz about the challenges of loving life as a mom and balancing her identity as an athlete.
Just a reminder this Mother’s Day that being a mom can the most amazing thing and also feel complicated at times. ❤️
Rolling with these babes! It’s so fun building community, making new friends, and enjoying the gravel right out our back door. Feeling very grateful. 🙏❤️
Hey all!
We are postponing our first supported ride for the season - it’s just gonna be too yuck on Saturday. BUT! Sunday and Monday are amazing!
We are planning on heading out on Monday at 5:30pm from behind the shop for one of Kristi’s favorite routes. She’d love company.
Route is linked in the bio!
It’s also getting dark later YAY!!!!!
Highly recommend-
Find that person that meets life head on. That smiles easily and says YES!
That brings you along on an adventure that you would have otherwise said no to.
That makes you belly laugh and will always wear the hat.
That will spray paint anything gold.
That has a surplus of insane costumes that become a must to put on.
That dances, includes others, and makes them smile.
That will do the occasional hand flapping with you just to make you feel a bit less crazy.
@vhaus - happy 5-0. You never ever yuck my yum and are always up, or down, for whatever.
Have the best weekend!
This image still gives me chills.

A historic UNBOUND finish.

Women’s gravel racing is no longer a side story — it’s one of the most compelling narratives in endurance sport. The depth, the tactics, the trust, the risk… all right here in one frame at @unboundgravel 2024.
As excitement builds toward the @lifetimegrandprix in 2026, this is the energy to carry forward — passion, community, and racing that makes you lean in while inspiring the next generation.
I, for one, can’t wait to see how the women’s field competes, grows, and inspires this year. How lucky are we to be witnessing history.
Our new series “Gravel School House” starts Thursday, Dec 18! Join us in person or with the Zoom link in our bio. 5pm!
We are ready to help you help yourself with our free training program and our expanded info sessions at the store!
Women belong at the start line — ALL the start lines. 💛
The @unboundgravel lottery is open (and closes 11/15), and we want YOU there with us and for #MoreWomenMoreMiles. 💃🏼
If you’ve ever wanted to try something bold, brave, ridiculous, beautiful, challenging — this is your sign. Put your name in. Show up nervous. Show up excited. Show up with sparkles. Show up as you. Just show up. We are here for you. 👯♀️
I will be riding UNBOUND 100 with YOU for #MoreWomenMoreMiles (around 15mph pace which is a great training goal!), and I want as many women as possible lining up beside us — stronger together, louder together, eating the snacks 🥒 🍪 🍕 together, and finding giggles and friendship along the way. That’s the heart of #MoreWomenMoreMiles with @feisty_media and @feistycycling creating space, confidence, belonging, and a big ol’ blob of fun 🤩 and sass 💁🏼♀️.
Let’s fill Emporia with more women, more joy, more miles, and more US than ever before.
See you in the Flint Hills. 👸🏼✨
