Up until early 2020, it was our habit of sticking to main roads and finding somewhere around the half way point of our route for lunch and a beer. When the government decided to lock us down those options were no longer there but, it didn't stop us. We do what we always do and made the best of a bad situation. Instead of stopping somewhere for a drink we started carrying our own. Instead of sticking to the main roads we started wandering off into the deep hills. In our own way, we felt a little rebellious. While everyone else was sitting at home we were self-isolating in the beautiful outdoors. That's when I really fell in love with riding. Suddenly, the secondary and seasonal roads were the only thing I wanted to ride. I also fell in love with photographing old barns and farms so we would wander the countryside for hours and never see another human. It was amazing!
So, we would go on one of our adventures and I would share my pics on social media. By 2021, I was getting messages from people who wanted to join us on our rides. This is how, Scott Bowen, Matt Slowey and Bowen Moore wound up on the team. Immediately, we hit it off. If you have ever met someone and instantly felt a rapport with them then you know what I mean. Like energy attracts like energy. It did not take long at all to figure out they were one of us.
