Yellowstone Highlights

Yellowstone Highlights

Well it’s been ages since I bothered to post on the blog… mostly because I haven’t felt like much was “happening” in our lives that was blog worthy. Now, that is in direct contradiction with this post I did when we first came home from the Tour, when I talked...
Summer Fun

Summer Fun

I realized I never gave an update on the triathlon, and so I thought while I was doing that, I would give a general update on life, Kirby and how our summer is going. So, let’s start with my FIRST Olympic distance triathlon! On May 30, Dave and I both...
Whole 30, Triathlon Training and Contentment

Whole 30, Triathlon Training and Contentment

Well, this update is a bit overdue… it’s now been 50 days since I posted on the blog! As much as I would love to post more, I am accepting the reality of the life I live, with being a full-time mom and also working part-time from home. There’s just...
Whole 30 Challenge

Whole 30 Challenge

Well, it’s April 1. Day one of my first Whole30 challenge. (And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke.) Some or even most of you may have heard of the Whole30 before… it’s a relatively restrictive diet where, for the next 30 days, I will be eating REAL food....
The Ultimate Pi Day

The Ultimate Pi Day

Every year, Dave and I celebrate our anniversary with a pie. We got married on Pi Day (March 14 = 3.14 = pi). And this year, the tradition continued with a delicious apple pie: Also, it’s worth noting that 2015 gave us the most accurate Pi Day we will have...
A Brave New World (of Motherhood)

A Brave New World (of Motherhood)

Perhaps you’re thinking that I haven’t posted on the blog because I’ve been so busy in my new role as a mom. (Perhaps I flatter myself to think anyone has noticed the month or more of silence…) You’d be wrong to think that I’m crazy swamped with our sweet little...

Berlin City Tour

Berlin City Tour

(As a preface to this post… so sorry we went radio silence on the blog for more than two weeks! We had some technical difficulties as our webmaster switched hosting companies. But all is well now, and you can expect more regular updates again in the future!) We made our way from Copenhagen to Berlin...
First Week in Europe

First Week in Europe

So much has changed for us over the past two weeks! We knew the change was coming, and to be honest, it was just what we needed. This week of riding in cycle lanes, blending in with the locals and speaking a lot of English has been refreshing! Our journey itself was a bit rough…...
Goodbye Latin America (6/23/2011)

Goodbye Latin America (6/23/2011)

I am writing this post from the plane as we make our way eastward to Europe—and a completely different world of cycle touring. Over the past few weeks, our conversations have turned many times to the major changes coming our way. Our departure to Europe and out of Latin America marks one of the most...
The Middle of the World

The Middle of the World

We felt that our journey up much of the length of South America would be incomplete without crossing the Equator. That’s why we set Quito as our end goal. The Equator is actually about 25 kilometers north of town, so it took us an extra day to ride through the city, but we’re glad we...
Northern Peru

Northern Peru

While in Lima, we booked our flights for Europe. So when we left, we began the race against the clock to make it to Quito in time for our departure on June 22. Fortunately, as we made our way through the desert of Northern Peru, we had a fantastic tail wind! On the day we...
Fun in Lima (5/29/2012)

Fun in Lima (5/29/2012)

Although our stay in Lima lasted a bit longer than expected, we had a fantastic time! Here are a few of our our highlights. 1. Papa John’s Pizza! Lima has the best Peruvian food in the country and we did indulge in some wonderful cebiche (seafood)… but our first meal stop? Papa John’s! Booyah! We...
