We’re less than one month out from Roam Fest (@thisisroam)! This MTB festival for femme and women riders is some of the most fun we’ve ever had on a bike — think dirt, dancing, learning, community, and camping under the stars in beautiful Fruita, Colorado. Register now! roamfest.com

Meaghan Hackinen (@meaghanhackinen) is now rolling on the Silk Road Mountain Race course. This race is extra-special: she's on a mission to be the first woman to finish all three mountain races (Atlas, Hellenic, and Silk Road) in the same year. www.themountainraces.cc/srmr2025

Best wishes to @meaghanhackinen and all the other riders rolling out in the Silk Road Mountain Race tomorrow. Meaghan and her Cutthroat will take on a rugged, self-supported course that's nearly 1,200 miles long with more than 90,000 feet of climbing.

You got this, Meaghan!
