Riding with new people always opens up fresh perspectives—and fresh lines.

Joined a brilliant group of women in Les Arcs with a simple goal: share riding tips, explore the bike park, and have a great time together.

Seeing some of the girls push past their hesitation and nail features they’ve never tried before was an absolute highlight.

Huge thanks to for organizing the day and for facilitating.

The least glamorous part of an epic trip, but easily one of the most important: the biosecurity deep clean.
Excited to head back to NZ, but first it’s time to put in the work. Scrubbing every speck of dirt, stray seed, and trail grime off every single piece of gear. Tedious work, but absolutely non-negotiable to protect home and the trails we love.
(Silver lining: at least this year I don’t have to scrub my bike down and pack it!)

Bringing this crew of Kiwi women over to France was everything we hoped for and more.
We rode hard, pushed limits, ate our body weight in cheese, and wore half the trail home on our faces and legs. Couldn’t have asked for a better group to explore the Alps with.
Safe to say the dirt washes off, but the memories stay. šŸ”„šŸ§€

Some trails demand pure grit. They’re steep, relentless, and test your resilience from the first step.

Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful my parents dragged me out on hikes from a young age. They taught me to keep pushing through the hard sections because, eventually, you always reach the top.

I realize now that’s exactly how I approach everything else. Whether it’s a brutal climb on a hike, a punishing bike ride, or a rough patch in life: you can take a breather, but you don’t quit. You just keep moving forward and you can do hard things.

Because when you finally put in the work and get to the top, the view is majestic. It’s always worth the climb.

Playing catch-up on last weekend’s clips. The goal was simple: escape the heat, find some elevation, and put the gear to the test.

It’s exactly like preparing for a massive bike ride—you don’t just jump in; you need time in the saddle to get your body used to the position and the miles. This is the hiking equivalent.

Practice runs are everything when you’re preparing for weeks on the trail. It’s about logging hours on the feet, breaking in the shoes, and ensuring the kit layout actually works before it matters.

Stepping up the intensity for the upcoming thru-hike.
This one was mostly about two variables: hunting elevation gain and getting the lungs used to operating at a higher altitude.
Hitting the snow line and seeing winter still holding on up here was a great way to cool off a little.
The legs feel pretty good, the lungs are slowly acclimating, and the views are definitely the cherry on the top of the training sessions.
One foot in front of the other. The countdown is on.

Nothing kills jet lag faster than moving. Day one of practice for the upcoming thru-hike is in the books.
The first proper hike of the trip delivered. Perfect weather, massive views, and a reunion with flora and fauna I hadn’t seen in way too long.
Highlight of the day: coming face-to-face with wild bouquetins. Safe to say, having them that close was a little nerve-wracking.
No, it’s not two wheels—but don’t worry, the bike videos are coming soon. The build-up starts now.

A quick mid-year update! šŸ› ļøāœØ

It’s been a massive few months of coaching and workshops, but it’s time for a winter shift. I’m heading over to France shortly.

The plan? Plenty of riding, but *first*... I’m stepping way out of my comfort zone for a 3-week through-hike. No bike, just my own two feet and a backpack. I’m equal parts stoked and terrified to see how the legs hold up.
To everyone who has seen me pounding the pavement and trails lately—now you know why! šŸƒā€ā™€ļøšŸ’Ø
