Find More Time To Ride This Year
Femme Cyclist Podcast
12/27/22 • 16 min
Recently I asked the Femme Cyclist community what your number one challenge is as it relates to bicycling. Can you guess what it was?
Finding time to ride! Yup, it didn't have anything to do with bike fit, or winter weather, or even flat tires. Women are just struggling to even find the time to get on their bicycle.
In this episode, I share a few ways that I've figured out how to fit in more hours and miles in the saddle. It's not always easy, but with a few tricks, it is doable.

Femme Cyclist Podcast
12/13/22 • 46 min
Ah, winter. It sure does throw a wrench in our training, doesn't it? Inclement weather, shorter days, and holiday travel all make it hard to stay sane and fit.
In this podcast interview, I chat with Jen Kates, a health and performance coach and owner of Shift Human Performance, about how to make the most of the winter months. She shares tips on strength training, riding indoors, staying active while traveling, and avoiding an "all-or-nothing" mentality.
Even if you live in a warm, sunny winter climate, there are plenty of nuggets of wisdom in here.

Strength Training For Cyclists With Dara Richman
Femme Cyclist Podcast
11/29/22 • 50 min
Is it easy to motivate yourself to go for a ride, but difficult to get yourself in the gym for strength training? I think this is the case for many of us, which is why I asked Dara Richman--a physical therapist and owner of the workout app The Leadpack--to come on the podcast to talk about strength training.
We discuss why it's so important for us to be strength training, how much we need to be doing, how to fit it in with our bike training, and much more. If you're looking for a little inspiration to start or step up your strength training routine this winter, this episode is for you.

Smoke N Fire 400: How A Community Of Strong Women Inspired Me To Complete My First Bikepacking Race
Femme Cyclist Podcast
10/18/22 • 31 min
I’ve long been the introverted, do-it-myself type. I like riding long miles alone, contemplating in silence. One might think these are ideal traits for a bikepacking racer.
And they probably are. But my recent finish of my first ever bikepacking race, the Smoke N Fire 400, had almost nothing to do with being alone, and everything to do with a community.
A community of women to be exact: Idaho Women’s Bikepacking. Founded by Laura Heiner, a long-time racer and multi-time finisher of the SNF 400, who was frustrated with the lack of women racing these events, the group taught me (and a lot of other women) how to bikepack.

Mountain Biking In Oaxaca, Mexico With Amy Schweim From Radical Women's Pursuits
Femme Cyclist Podcast
10/05/22 • 39 min
Have you been hunkered down at home for the last few years, dreaming of mountain bike vacations? Well, now is your time to finally go get out there!
One great way to bike internationally is to join a tour group. I've done this in the past, and it's super helpful. They help take care of all of the logistics, they know what the good trails and routes are, so all you have to do is ride your bike and enjoy yourself!
In this podcast episode, I chat with Amy Schweim from Women's Radical Pursuits. She runs mountain bike trips to Oaxaca, Mexico (as well as other Latin American countries).
Even if you're not interested in joining a tour (or going to Mexico), you'll get some good tips on traveling internationally to bike.
