2026 M2M Ride

M2M Final Thoughts

I began this ride talking about “riding for those who can’t.” I still believe in that. I rode with my aunt Alba in my thoughts, and supporting wounded Airmen and Guardians gave those miles a purpose beyond finishing another endurance challenge. But Clint made me think more deeply about that phrase. I need to be

M2M Day 4

The final day of M2M would take us 73 miles from Fredericksburg to the Air Force Memorial, with another 4,355 feet of climbing along the way. It ended up being my favorite day of the entire ride, even though I spent most of it watching the clock. I volunteered to ride sweep, which meant staying

M2M Day 3

Day 3 took us 76 miles from Richmond to Fredericksburg with approximately 3,425 feet of climbing. It was shorter than the first two days, but after back-to-back long rides, “shorter” did not necessarily mean easy. We rolled away from the Omni in downtown Richmond at 6:40 a.m. and rode together to the Governor’s Mansion for

M2M Day 2

Day two was Century Day: 106 miles from Chesapeake to Richmond. We began by riding over to the hotel where we had gathered the night before. Everyone formed up for another group rollout, but before we left, I had the chance to talk with former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James Roy. Chief

Day one of the Memorial to Memorial ride started bright and early with a 0700 form-up at the Wright Brothers National Memorial. There were nearly 350 cyclists gathered at the place where humans first took flight, all preparing to begin a four-day journey to the Air Force Memorial in Washington, D.C. We rolled out together

What is M2M?

The Memorial to Memorial ride, better known as M2M, is a four-day cycling journey covering approximately 350 miles. It begins at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and ends at the Air Force Memorial in Washington, D.C. But M2M is not simply about riding from one monument to another. The ride

The problem with optimism

I’ve been thinking a lot about optimism lately. I am an optimist. Like… probably annoyingly optimistic. I tend to believe things are going to work out. I believe there is a solution. I believe I can figure it out. And I believe people can do WAY more than they think they can do. Give me

Back to the start line!

This weekend, I’m back to racing. I’ll be at the Boston Triathlon, but I’m making a change from the original plan. Instead of racing the Olympic distance, I’m dropping down to the sprint. And I’m actually feeling pretty good about that decision. The last couple of weeks haven’t exactly been a model training block. I

Back in the Open Water

After what happened in Atlantic City last weekend, I knew I needed to get back into open water before my next race. Not eventually. Not when I felt ready. I needed to actually get back in the water. So this weekend I joined CIBBOWS for their Intro to Open Water Swimming class at Brighton Beach.
