Thank you for everything.

Nationals were in Vermont this year and it was the hardest one yet.

Annie, Lauren, and Amanda went back to Bentonville to race as a team of three in the Rule of Three bike race. It was the best of times *and* the worst of times.

Annie and Lauren continue their retelling of the saga that is Expedition Ozarks. Settle in, this episode is a long one! *The Retreat at Willow Creek in Athens, Ohio is THE place to relax and restore or host your next event. If you need somewhere that is the perfect biking distance from Athens, ideally tucked in the woods, or that offers the kind of local expertise and event hosting that only owner Jess Kopelwicz can provide, we highly suggest making a reservation! *Next up in the TINAR Race Series is the Pike Lake Ultramarathon on October 28th, 2023. Tough terrain, two distance options, great swag and even better race organization.
