After two decades of cycling up the paved road on Mt. Lemmon, how fun it was to stand at the Cookie Cabin with hiking poles! #Denali training did not disappoint this week with an extra long hike up the back trails of Mt. Lemmon for a total of 17.7 miles with 6000ft elevation

It’s Doug Stanhope’s birthday today, and I’m forever thankful for meeting this stranger in an airport in 2019, who then befriended my father and spent a summer taking care of my mom with dementia. (And also my cat.) He’s a big (and best) chapter in my next book. Thx Stanhope.

Had the most amazing trip to beautiful #Nevis with my Colgate University rowing teammates. Part reunion, part birthday for the 5 of us turning 50 in 2025. Rowers are a strange bunch. Our version of partying is entering a 2.5mi swim event & hiking a volcano. Love this sisterhood so

Podcast w/#FemmeCyclist. Great convo on how women often hold themselves back & settle for breadcrumbs. How too many women think they’re only capable of racing shorter distances b/c that’s what they’ve been conditioned to think. Let’s change that, shall we? femmecyclist.com/kathryn-bertin…

Today’s my 9th brainiversary! 🧠🙏❤️ This photo was taken the evening before stage two of 2016 UCI Vuelta Feminil in La Paz, Mexico. Would’ve been my last photo, had the doctor in the race caravan not been so quick to act. The longer story is in STAND 📚, the short story is this:

My mother-in-law for the win! ❤️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️💪👊 When Fox News reported only the men’s winner of today’s Boston Marathon, “Sandy D. from Naples” wrote in immediately, asking to include the women’s winner. Bret Baier actually corrected it on air. Moral: Speak up when you see inequality.

Every year I’m contacted by at least 10 high school students asking for an interview to discuss the gender pay gap. This May, I’ve had many interviews w/middle schoolers. (8th grade!) Huge shout out to all the awesome teachers assigning this topic. These kids will close that gap.

On the 5th anniversary of my Dad’s passing, sharing a happy story. The guy on the right is my Dad’s best friend, Barry. I’ve asked him to walk me down the aisle in September, and he’s accepted the role. Dad n’ Bear had the greatest friendship. From fishing/hunting trips to The
