Tour de Lopez 2026
An annual bike ride on Lopez Island — 30 miles, 9 people, one campsite on the beach, and a ferry that made an unscheduled stop for someone who almost didn't make it.
Adventures
Trip notes, routes, and small musings from the outdoors. PNW mostly — trails, mountains, water.
SheJumps x Ikon Pass: Back to Skiing!
After several years away from skiing due to injuries, moving states after grad school, and lots and lots of PT, SheJumps' Ikon Pass Scholarship program got me back into it — with rentals, a lesson, a pass, and a community of women getting into snow sports alongside me.
First time on a banked velodrome
I spent three hours riding in circles at the Jerry Baker Velodrome for a King County Metro ad campaign. It was terrifying. I appear for approximately 21 seconds.
Seafair Triathlon — twice
Seattle's only triathlon, in Lake Washington at Seward Park. I did the super sprint in 2024 as Baker cross-training and the full sprint in 2025 as a spine recovery milestone. Doing it again in 2026.
Summiting Mt. Baker with SheJumps
My first mountaineering experience — six months of training, a fundraiser at a wine bar, and an alpine start at 4am with eight other women on a glaciated volcano.
