I'm a 37 year old with a life-long love of being active in the outdoors and eating tasty food while I'm at it! My favorite activities involve bikes (Mt or road) or skis (skate ski & downhill) and I also enjoy a good run, hike, or even walk. Throw in some snowshoeing when the skiing's not great, and some SUP in the summer time, and that rounds out my favorite things to do! I do a lot of these activities with family members, friends, and members of the active community in the Spokane area. Outdoor activities are a great social connector, I love the sense of connection that is quickly built by doing something active with others. It breaks down barriers, builds friendships & strengthens bonds, and it just makes things way more fun. In 2022, I did a couple of awesome trips with my dad, who got me into running and cycling. We traveled to NYC to ride the Five Boro Bike Tour with 35,000 others, and in July, we completed the RAGBRAI bike ride across Iowa! It was totally epic and we're going to go back for it next year ... and maybe every year, because it's just so much fun. :)
