Some highlights from a quick visit to @pasnormalstudios_sf! Thanks to all who joined us on our social ride through San Francisco last Saturday, and @pasnormalstudios for making the official release of our @stevetilfordfoundationracing jersey happen!

Every day is a coffee ride with you @koliver9!
I’ll be honest and say that my performance at the World Championships was disappointing. Even though it was an “off day”with finishing P27, the energy in Hoogerheide 🇳🇱 is something I will never forget. Thank you for the support and faith, @usacycling and @stevetilfordfoundationracing. My eyes are already on next year!

I don’t have many words now. Just gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort, and to everyone who showed up to cheer. Finally, NATIONAL CHAMPION!!
When it rains, we train in the woods. A couple clips from last week’s training. #cyclocross

☑️ on one of my goals of the season - winning the overall 🏆 of the @uscxseries. Even with this season being one of transition and change, I am really happy to find consistency in our national 🇺🇸 series. Thank you to my team, sponsors, fans of the sport, race promoters, and the series organizers for helping elevate cyclocross in North America!

After taking some time to train at home, it’s time to get back between the tape this weekend at @reallyradcx for Pan-Ams and the @uscxseries finale!

After 6 weeks of full gas racing and traveling, I’ve opted to spend a little more time at home through October to return to my home training routines and prepare for later season goals. Going into this next period, I’m thinking back to putting in the work with the @usacycling CX team just before kicking the season off. The camaraderie and friendly competition between athletes made putting in the work all the more fun. Thanks to the support of the #MudFund for bringing athletes together for opportunities like this camp, and helping elevate US cyclocross! I’m looking forward to returning to these trails soon. #eyesforward #process #cyclocross

The 🇺🇸 World Cup block is officially in the books! I always love seeing our international competitors come to our turf, and to still learn from them in our environment. While I was able to notch some consistent results, the last couple weeks have been a bumpier ride than I have let on. After riding to P8 in a blazing fast @trekcxcup C1, I had a training crash that resulted in an inflamed knee and rippling affects through my leg. I pushed through to P15 in the Waterloo World Cup, but as soon as I crossed the line, 100% focus went towards recovery. I was thrilled to see my body had recovered in time for @cxfayettevillear, and I was able to pull off a podium ride in Friday’s C1, and P14 in the Fayetteville World Cup.
Now, I’m entering the next block of the season. Time to reset, and get back to training.

Sunday in Baltimore, a day I will remember for a long time!
Saturday's C1 was a frustrating race. I took the bull by the horns and tried to force my competitors' hands early. That effort was a risk, and it didn't pay off that day.
I had to come into Sunday with a different mentality. I took the first half of the race to find my pace, but once I found my groove, I started to shift to a more tactical mindset. It was a total fight until the final meters, and it was a victory I will remember for a long time.
Thank you @charmcitycx for an incredible weekend, the @uscxseries for helping elevate North American cyclocross, my team @stevetilfordfoundationracing for executing, and everyone who came out to support and cheer. This is why we do it!

This is #teamwork. Only a few people see this side before the lights turn green. The mechanics are on course hours before the athletes show up to prep the equipment and set everything up. Before the racers show up, mechanics and athletes go back and forth on what’s happening at the course. “How hard is it raining? How’s the course changing? What are you seeing for tire treads?” The communication continues when the athletes head out for course inspection with dialing in lines, tire choice and pressure. Back to the tents to get warmed up before the start, but the mechanics still have their hands full with cleaning machines and matching tires and pressure to pit bikes. Once the whistle blows, it’s all shouting one-line orders, quick exchanges, and power washing.
Next time you swing by the team tents, look at how calm the athletes are. That’s a sign of a solid mechanic. That’s what builds confidence and trust.
The forecast for @charmcitycx this weekend is looking like 🌧☔️. Let’s do this @stevetilfordfoundationracing @westma9947!

Weekend #2 of the season is in the books, and things are headed in the right direction! Two incredibly dynamic races with different conditions ended in the same result. 🥈 & 🥈both days in Rochester.
I feel like I’m catching my stride with my form and with my new team. Next up is rounds 5 & 6 of the @uscxseries in Baltimore!
