Monday starts the 5th Do Better Together. FIFTH. It’s wild to me that I’ve been organizing this series for 5 years now. The first year there was 6 months, and it was only open to bikes. Even then, my goal was to show everyone who shared a love of bikes that it didn’t matter where you were, how you identified, how you rode, or what you were riding, it’s the love of bikes that make us a joint community.

I noticed how people would speak to me with excitements about my goals, but diminish the excitement of their own. I hated that. I wanted to create a space where becoming pro was just as exciting of an idea as riding twenty miles for the first time, because to me, it is!

This year the challenge is open to anyone and everyone who is doing an activity. Indoors, outdoors, virtually or otherwise. With the introduction of the Do Better Together app, this year will have a more community feel. A chance to really build person to person relationships, share experiences, and interact with others in a way we weren’t able to do in past years.

This year there are also in-app exercise classes provided by some very incredible instructors. Never more than 30 minutes, but always a good time.

Folks are encouraged to join the challenge at any point, as registration will remain open until the very end. And in addition to the community aspects and growing we’ll do together, there are physical incentives provided in the form of raffle prizes from Liv Cycling, Backcountry.com, SRAM, Clifbar, and myself.

The first challenge starts Monday January, 18th. Whether you’re registered or not, you are very welcome to join me and some of The Black Foxes for the TBF x DBT ride on Zwift.

Thank you so much for your support over the years, we’ve gotten so much done which is why I absolutely believe in the power of what can happen when you Do Better Together.
