My Cycling Journey

I grew up biking through Paris with my family, then around the suburbs, and later to class in college. After years away, I borrowed a friend’s road bike for a triathlon and rediscovered the magicβ€”early mornings on the Burke-Gilman, sun rising, quiet wheels spinning, falling in love all over again.

Cycling, snacks, and good company β€” that’s my ride mantra πŸ’«

A cheerful mix of favorite routes, post-ride rituals, and big-dream goals (with a few donut stops in between 🍩).
