It is about the bike...
The connections I've made while riding or simply talking about riding are too many to count. These connections have been life changing. One of those meaningful connections took place this past weekend. I had the privilege to shoot at OuterBike in Moab during the SRAM Gold Rusch Tour held by Rebecca Rusch. The SRAM Gold Rusch Tour was designed by Rebecca Rusch to get women of all ages outdoors and on their bicycles. The tour features seven unique events with the goal of increasing women’s participation in mountain biking and cycling by offering fun, social, and non-intimidating venues that educate and empower. Outerbike was one of those stops. The nice thing about this stop was the women could try different bikes and join the groups to hone their skills. A win-win for everyone. Rebecca Rusch known as "The Queen of Pain" is also all about making connections through riding and sharing stories about riding. For three days she and her team coached women on proper bike set-up, basic bike mechanics, and riding in the high desert terrain around Moab. They rode on the Brand Loops and Mag 7, a combination of technical sections in the Gemini Bridges region.

Rebecca reminds everyone of what to bring with you on a ride: sunscreen, tube and pump, liquids and food along with a good sense of humor and adventure.
The Magnificent 7 trail system offers up plenty of beauty a challenge.
No doubt these riders brought their sense of humor and adventure as they head done Gemini Bridges Road towards Mag7.

The Web has given a goliath store of events to worked with point composed arranged specialists and watchmen something almost identical, and online progressed figuring everything out has appeared to us that we can be both. Having a moving calling and a careful family isn't monstrous with such a learning.
