New episode! 🎙 I speak with Jonathon Flores of Outdoor Adventures+. Based in Central California, his brand takes BIPOC folks on some incredible hikes. (We don't have mountains like those in Massachusetts!) Here are a few highlights from our chat. 1️⃣ Representation Matters: We discussed the significance of having ambassadors from diverse outdoor backgrounds. We can empower and inspire a wider range of people to explore the outdoors by showcasing individuals who specialize in various activities. 2️⃣ Leave No Trace: We highlighted the importance of leaving outdoor spaces clean and respecting nature. From picking up trash to avoiding leaving behind harmful substances like fruit waste containing pesticides, we can collectively preserve the beauty of our environment. 3️⃣ Land Acknowledgment: Recognizing and respecting the history and culture of indigenous communities is crucial. We spoke about the importance of land acknowledgment and delved into the stories and history of various indigenous groups in California. https://lnkd.in/eC-jdVWr #DEIBOutdoors #OutdoorAdventures #RepresentationMatters #LeaveNoTrace #LandAcknowledgment #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Belonging #PodcastEpisode

Incredible!
The Extreme Cycling Race Around Austria ended with a feat that has never happened in its 16 years – Elena Roch won the women’s race and her time, 4 days and 2 hours, was even faster than the men’s winner, who was still racing for two hours after she crossed the finish line. In this race, 2,200 kilometers and 30,000 meters of elevation must be covered, the toughest bike race in Europe and a qualifying race for the legendary Race Across America. Congratulations, Elena 👏

Heard this great story on the radio today. I love how the story emphasized this new trail network isn't easy just because it's accessible. Adaptive athletes want a challenging ride!
This new trail network is the first in Vermont that's fully accessible to adaptive mountain bikes

Imagine breaking gender boundaries twice. Willy de Bruyn did it! In 1934, de Bruyn became the women's world champion, but the International Olympic Committee, regarded as cycling’s governing body, did not recognize the women’s events at the time. (The U.C.I. did not recognize women’s cycling until 1958!) De Bruyn left cycling at the age of 22 to undergo gender transition and travel the world with his wife.

Has your live changed for the better once you spent more time outside? You might be a great guest on Outside Online! Here's the scoop. 👇
We've got a really cool project cooking with Ford. It's called Outside Rx. This summer, we're looking to tell personal stories about the power of nature and the positive effects of spending more time outside. We're looking to cast a few folks who need it most—people whose work-life balance is way out of whack. We'll tell their story, send them to a Ford Off-Rodeo event for some off-roading and adventure. If this is you, or you know someone who could use a lot more adventure in their life, click on link below, fill out the form, and upload a short video. Casting is open until June 15th. Questions? Give a shout.

Betty = goals. Congrats on finishing another marathon at 98 years young!
Once an athlete, always an athlete. At 66, Betty was told she had the cardiovascular health of a 42-year-old. At 98, she completed a 5K in under an hour—and was the only woman in the 95-99 age group. Anyone else feel like lacing up all of a sudden? 👟
