White Rim in a Day was going great, until it wasn’t. 🚴🚑🤕 At mile 91, five miles from the end, a careless drift into a rut sent me over the bars and onto my left shoulder- broken clavicle and two ribs… ouch! 👎 Thankfully, we were nearly at the car so getting out wasn’t too bad, it actually could have been a lot worse if the crash happened elsewhere. Driving out from Mineral Bottom didn’t feel good on the ribs but soon enough we were on our way home and to the ER by midnight. 🏥 Three days later (Friday) my collarbone was put back together 🛠 and, with some time, should be 100% 👍😀 Thanks to @ajdocken and @jpettlinger for a fun day and for getting me out of there! 🙏👊 So that’s a wrap for my summer/fall season, time to start thinking ahead to winter ❄️⛷🎿 see you then!

Feeling grateful for the last few days and time sp Feeling grateful for the last few days and time spent with this living legend. Thank you @reinholdmessner_official for coming to our mountain community to share your beautiful perspective on adventure, life, and challenges. A good reminder that mountains are not there for summits, but to give us opportunities to learn about ourselves. #kalipè #Alwayswithsmallsteps #mindbodyspirit #lettheoutsidein

Thanks for the feature article @backcountrymag and @tessjweaver And for the incredible leadership of Ben Dodge and our board! Check out the story in the November issue on magazine racks now!
