Between all the massive projects coming up and everything that needs to get done to put a bow on this one, it's still not lost on me how lucky I am.
Here's to the next @canecreekusa
TLDR: Bennett and I are healthy and riding bikes. He's healthy, I'm healthy. Bikes are neat. Thanks to all who helped.
Greatest moment of 2025. Last year threw a lot at me. I have had some incredibly high highs, and equally as low lows.
From getting to snowboard and golf all the time @sundayriver while working with the marketing team over there, to moving back to Pisgah Forest. To being able to ride bikes year round again and dive headfirst with my role @canecreekusa it was one hell of a year.
Nothing quite sticks out in my memory of 2025 quite like this day. November 1st. It was mine and @traildog.bennett first ride together after a frustration injury and infection had him down and out. The mental load of seeing my best friend struggle through his daily adventures was taxing. After giving him all the help we could find, we finally hit the trails for the first time together. It felt like he and I hadn't been the same since. Our bond is stronger, we're inseparable. He still has some little things that I still notice, but I think he is as healthy as he can be.
I will never forget the joy and happiness we both exuded that day. Bennett is my homie. Though the stressors of it all still loom over my head, nothing will compare to the pure joy this day brought both of us.
