My adventures are as diverse as my friends. I'm an advid long-distance bike rider, cook, author, artist, volunteer, mother, grandmother, and wife.

🍗 STP Tradition: Goebel Chicken Wings! 🚴 Every ST

🍗 STP Tradition: Goebel Chicken Wings! 🚴

Every STP has those little traditions that make the ride extra special. For me, one of the best is pulling into Goble and making a beeline for the tavern's legendary chicken wings. I look forward to them every single year!

This year's stop was even more satisfying after my disappointing lunch. Remember that roast beef sandwich? It was frozen solid when I got it... and after hauling it around for miles, it ended up in the trash. 😆

Thankfully, Goble came to the rescue. Hot, messy, flavorful chicken wings were exactly what I needed to replace that frozen disappointment. Sometimes the best ride fuel isn't fancy nutrition—it's comfort food shared with hundreds of other cyclists who are all chasing the same finish line.

Now I'm fueled up, my spirits are high, and Portland is getting closer with every pedal stroke. Here's to keeping the traditions alive... one delicious wing at a time! 🍗🚴

🎉 Hello, Oregon! 🚴💙🧡 Crossing the Columbia River

🎉 Hello, Oregon! 🚴💙🧡

Crossing the Columbia River always feels like a milestone. Washington is behind me, Portland is getting closer, and I'm officially about halfway through Day 2!

Not every part of STP goes according to plan, though. The lunch stop was a bit of a bust... my roast beef sandwich was frozen solid. 🥶🥪 I managed a few chips, but that was about it. Add with an upset stomach, I found myself making an emergency stop at a gas station for some Tums and a cold Sprite. Sometimes that's exactly the fuel you need to keep rolling!

One of the highlights of the stop was catching up with a few fellow STP Ambassadors. We spend so much time cheering each other on through Instagram that it's always a treat to finally see each other in person, swap stories, compare notes, and laugh together. Those moments are every bit as memorable as the ride itself.

The weather has been a pleasant surprise this year. I finally peeled off my thermal arm sleeves before heading onto the famous "Dirty 30." In the past two years, this stretch has been blazing hot, but this year Mother Nature has been much kinder. My cooling sun sleeves may not even make an appearance!

The finish line is getting closer with every pedal stroke. Time to settle in for the final push to Portland. Let's finish this ride! 🚴
