We know we have been quiet on here as of late! We are busy re tooling our Roam programming for 2015 and into 2016.

In other news we are both on new and exciting adventures Todd is the newest member of the Velocity team building wheels (yes for bikes) & diving even further into the art of wheel building. Rosie is on her way to Alaska to work for the Dallas Seavey Kennel where she will be back on a dog sled again.

We loved reading Joan West’s blog, Rambling Hemlock, this past year. When she posted this, we just had to share it. Thanks Joan for the personal reflections.

Need some inspiration? Look no further then one of our favorite bad asses Lael Wilcox who set the new women's record for the Tour Divide this year in 17 days, 1 hour, and 51 minutes. Way to go Lael!

A Q&A with Lael Wilcox after she made history and finished the 2,770 mile Tour Divide bikepacking race in a record-setting 17 days, 1 hour, and 51 minutes.

A huge congrats to Lael Wilcox who raced the Tour Divide (a 2745 mile unsupported bike packing race from Banff, Canada to Antelope Wells, NM) this year. Since doing last year's bike packing adventure- these adventures are near and dear to our heart. Lael crushed the current women's record finishing the race in 17 days 1 hour and 51 minutes and is also in the top of the pack of both male and female competitors. She averaged 160 miles a day! Let these amazing ladies in your world remind you what you are capable of.

Congratulations to an amazing woman, grandma, and all around bad ass. Lena just completed 109 miles through Shenandoah National Park in preparation for a 2016 AT thru-hike. She joins the awesome crew of Roam t-shirt holders and graduates of a Roam Course. Her super power? Determination!

We will hit our 80 mile marker today! Woo hoo.

We are grateful for 71 year old women that show me how to kick ass, that age is no boundary to adventure, blimp drivers and tall ship sea women, mother and daughter, affection of new friends, the opportunity to take accountability and keep promises of dreams. Thank you to my trail friends, new and old.

The first days orientation, the real fun begins when we hit the trail tomorrow. We are looking forward to backpacking with a great group of ladies.

Headed to Virginia for our two week Shenandoah backpacking course this weekend. Needless to say our two wheeled and furry friends are not happy they get left behind.

Hiking solo: what are your thoughts? For the women who do it, any mental blocks to get past?

LNT should be majorly important to all of us! Check out Mountain Crossing's blog post on Leave No Trace and why it is important for thru hikers.

Here at Mountain Crossings we have seen first hand what the misuse and abuse of the trail can lead to. In 2012, a camping restriction was placed on the five-mile stretch of trail south of Mountain ...

Going light is not just about buying lighter gear but a switch in mindset.

According to Hyperlite Mountain Gear Ambassador Max Neale, going lighter is not just about buying light gear; it's about having good info, skills & gear.

Trail Blues, you can never bring enough snacks:)

It's time for a adventure. Long distance hiking is the great equalizer.

Thru-hiking is monumentally hard for everyone, but humans are uniquely designed to excel at walking long distances. And, as Carrot Quinn found out during her Pacific Coast Trail odyssey, women are every bit as good at it as men

There is still plenty of time to sign up for our June Shenandoah Backpacking Course. The dates are: June 13th - June 27th. What are you waiting for?

Rosie doing important "Roam things"

#niner #ninerambassador #ninerfamily

The last mile to Antelope Wells. Thank you to everyone for being part of this adventure.

The finale.

Even though Rosie has been under the weather, we are still rockin the GDMR race route. Here she is on the Gold Dust Trail.

For the last duration of our adventure (hopefully 21 days if conditions allow) we will be dedicating portions of our ride to wonderful & inspiring people in our lives. This first one is for Bill Bailey. You have inspired us in so many ways. We even thought about racing after this ride and decided that's what crazies do. This is for you Bill.

Confessions of a Bikepacker

A video of some of the single track we rode @ Whitefish Bike Retreat in Montana.

Sitting with Rosie and she breaks down about her fears in the wilderness.

Although we entered the Flathead Wilderness in British Columbia on high bear alert no one told us about the horses. This is a very wild place.

Re route!

We apologize for the horrible cinematography but this was our morning ride over Chief Joseph Pass in MT. It was snowing!

We've made it out of the vortex of Wyoming on Friday! We are in Montana enroute to Missoula. Things we've learned Wyoming is beautiful but was even windier then Kansas! We've been battling a headwind for a full week and now it's following us into MT.

A snippet of the storm yesterday afternoon. Watch it until the end!:)

Waiting out a storm in Haswell, CO yesterday. Population 68.

What's Kansas without a good storm?

We have a wind advisory today, it said it might make driving difficult. They may have been right.
