Before my pro cycling days, I was a collegiate rower. Got back in the boat this weekend at #Craftsbury sculling center, and had the best surprise. Olympic rower turned cyclist & @HomestretchFdn alum & dear friend @kennychase25 was there coaching! So great to her.

11 yr ago on July 27, 2014 I stood on the start line of my dreams, of all we fought for: @LaCoursebyTDF (predecessor to @LeTourFemmes). This woman asked for a photo. Years later, inspired by #LaCourse she became a pro cyclist. Never underestimate the ripple effect of change. Full story on Insta: https://t.co/N8qz4cEiSn

Namaste & thank you to #drishtiyogatucson for keeping our residents healthy, limber, strong, focused, and ready for any hot weather that comes their way! We appreciate this terrific hot yoga studio that supports @homestretchfdn and helps our Tucson community thrive. 🕉️🙏🧘🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🌵💕

Our mini-Stretchie @FoutsAva sporting her @HomestretchFdn tech tee as she sings the national anthem at the Tucson #HeartWalk. Awww! ❤️ Thank you, Ava. Too kind. We love having you part of our Homestretch family of strong women.

[Kathryn Bertine @KathrynBertine]

Ava rocked the national anthem today. 🎶🎤🇺🇸 She did an amazing job kicking off Tucson’s #AmericanHeartWalk, complete with playground stops and pancakes afterward. So darn proud of this kid. I often forget she’s a #chdwarrior and has endured more than a few heart surgeries in her 13 years. We tend to focus more on laughter, great conversations, bike rides, tree climbing, playground seeking, and @LeBuzzCaffe & Dutch Bros treat stops.

Ava is all heart and keeps me young at heart. I am forever thankful our paths crossed & we’re stuck with each other for life. Thank you Scott, Julie and @FoutsAva! We love you so much. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Happy Friday, #Tucson! 80 and sunny today. Surprise meetup this morning at @LeBuzzCaffe with international cyclists wearing Christmas antlers on their helmets and a sponsor logo for Homestretch Foundation. They said they’re here in Tucson to train this winter and to support the mission of #Homestretch - to help establish awareness for equality and pay parity for professional female cyclists in racing events around the world. Meet them in my video here and visit this website: https://t.co/HsiuYg831T
On LeBuzz patio we met up with Tucson-based @KathrynBertine pro-cyclist, activist, author, writer, and founder of #Homestretch, hosting a group of cyclists after a ride. Congrats, Kathryn! Great work for women cyclists!

On Fridays from Dec - May we hold a community group ride in Tucson. A 60min spin at recovery pace (15mi @ 15mph) so locals can talk to the elite/pro cyclists staying at @HomestretchFdn. Then we have coffee & pastries after at @LeBuzzCaffe. Today was the first one of the season and it marks the start of our 10th year. 50+ people joined us. I love this ride, our athletes & our community. Friday mornings feel like a giant hug. 🚴🏻‍♀️🌵🏡🥰❤️
