When the season winded down into the fall, I couldn’t believe how fortunate I was to have this set of weekends tying together my summer.

Biking taught me to stop saying sorry and instead say thank you. Almost everyone I ride with has more years of biking experience than me.

There’s nothing more satisfying than watching someone who’s never been on a mountain bike before start to experience the joy of riding.

Tashia (she/her) first found VNTRbirds through our women’s community ride days, Good Vibes Ride Day.

I find that I often poison my travels by over-researching, leaving nothing to chance or happenstance.

The Grand Canyon is the only place in the world that classes white water from 1-10, and to be honest it’s slightly intimidating.

Starting at that young age, I grew alongside snowboarding. I started with the early stages of falling leaf and bruised tailbones.

My moment is what I live for. It’s what drives me to climb mountains, pushes us to jump when our heads are saying no.
