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

One of the questions I get asked all the time is,

One of the questions I get asked all the time is, "Why do you keep going back to Europe to bike?"

It's not just about the scenery—although that's spectacular. It's about an entire culture that embraces cycling as a way of life.

🚴 The interconnected EuroVelo trail system lets you ride for days through multiple countries on well-marked routes.

☕ I miss stopping for a real Latte Macchiato. Somehow they don't know what they are back home!

🥖 Breakfasts are an experience of their own: hearty whole-grain breads, smoked salmon, pickled fish, cheeses, cold meats, fresh fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other fresh vegetables that fuel a full day in the saddle.

⛴️ I love the self-propelled ferries that carry cyclists across canals and rivers, and the ease of combining bikes with trains and ferries to explore even farther.

🍷 Along the routes you'll find cafés, pubs, wineries, and small villages that invite you to slow down and enjoy the journey instead of rushing to the destination.

❤️ But more than anything, I miss the people. Cycling has introduced me to friends from around the world, and every ride feels like a reunion with family.

Europe doesn't just make room for bicycles—it builds communities around them. And every time I ride there, I come home inspired.

Ten years ago, I never imagined this would be my life.
In 2015, I was carrying a lot more than extra weight. I struggled to be active, and diabetes made every step harder. Getting both of my knees replaced gave me a second chance, and discovering cycling gave me a passion I never knew I was missing.
Since then, I've lost more than 90 pounds. It wasn't always easy. While I was taking insulin, losing weight felt like an uphill battle. Thanks to advances in diabetes care—including GLP-1 medications—I was able to maintain a healthy A1C, get off insulin, and continue building a healthier life.
Today, cycling isn't just exercise. It's freedom. It's adventure. It's friendship. It's confidence. And it's one of the reasons I continue supporting the American Diabetes Association.
I'm excited to share that I've already registered for the 2027 Tour de Cure, and over the coming months I'll be raising money to support diabetes research, education, and advocacy. If you'd like to help, I'll be sharing my fundraising link (it's also in my bio).
Every mile I ride is for everyone living with diabetes—and for the hope that one day we'll find a cure.
Thank you for following along on this journey and for cheering me on. ❤️🚴
