New Year, New Blog-Lift

That's right! Welcome to the brand new, shiny, skinnier, sleeker look to Local Roadie. A personal journey of cycling, hiking, traveling, and growing as an adventure seeker and endurance athlete.

Yes, I ride my bike for hours and consider myself primarily a cyclist. However, I'd like to represent what I have evolved into as an athlete. I have found so much joy in breaking up the hours of cycling with hiking, kayaking, gym workouts, and beachbody programs.

Do you cycle for every workout? Yep, I did.. but now I train hard to be able to hike across the Grand Canyon as well. Mixing it up has helped me be a better cyclist, wife, and friend. #liveyourbestlife

It sounds a little dramatic, but honestly, I have found my balance between working out, training, and racing.

Going forward, what does this mean for Local Roadie?

While the scope of the website is changing slightly, it is still a place to connect with fellow cyclists and other athletes. Maybe I can inspire a few cyclists to hike, or a few hikers to bike?! #goals Possibly inspire someone out there to try something new, different, or beneficial to their daily life.

Happy New Year & Cheers to the refreshed view of Local Roadie! I look forward to seeing you out on the road & trails!
