Riding bikes makes me so happy...never would have guessed this format could be so gratifying and thrilling 💓🌈#thenovas #weehoo Happy Memorial Day weekend!
Watching my man and my little girl watch the Women's World Cup in Czech this morning. Feeling grateful for my time spent on the race course...while also feeling grateful that I am no longer on the other side of that lens! 🚵🏻♀️🏅🌎✨💥👶💓💪
Yup, it's May 18th! The bad news: already took off the studded snow tires soooo, I'm stuck up the mountain. The good news: see last statement 😜 no electricity, no water, but we've got ❤️
Dreams do come true.... #weehoo! #babyshred #doingit @rideweehoo @trekbikes

Shopping for a riding-my-bike-with-my-baby option...came across @rideweehoo and nearly peed my pants when I saw that I could do so on singletrack! Then...I saw they are based just 45min away. Can't get to checking this out fast enough!

Oh Moab, how I've missed thee! Shreddin' with my girls while my other @smbaracegirls and @smbarocks boys tore up the @endurocupmtb just over yonder hills! 💓🏁💃
Some things in life just can't be understood without experiencing them. Being pregnant, giving birth, and becoming friends with this little spirit are no exception. No language or written word could ever describe this thing called "having kids". And, I cannot possibly begin to explain to anyone else how amazing it is. I love this little human, I love this spirit who chose JHK and I. Happy first Birthday McKenna!! 😍💓💓💓💓💓😍Every moment is a true gift and, while I want to cling to this moment, I know that watching you learn and grow will be yet another group of moments that can only be loved and appreciated in their entirety once directly witnessed.
I'd say party #1 of celebrating our first year as the Nova family went pretty well...
Smells like #newbikeday. Ssssshhhhh, someone turns one tomorrow 😉#trekbikes #kickster #sohot #ridebeforeyouwalk
Looking forward to more views and sunburns with this amazing crew! @smbaracegirls @smbarocks @sportsgaragecycling @tinshedsports
And capped off Earth Day with a stroll out the back door and up the mountain.
I'm so lucky...these days, many people need an instruction manual for how to use the planet. It's my hope that we all move forward in a way that enables as many people as possible to remember where we come from and to respect her more.

When that random snow bank has you like 😮#smbagirls #coachesselfie #wegotthis @tinshedsports @sportsgaragecycling @smbarocks 🏁
Kicking off Labor Day weekend right!
Two ways you know you're doing it right: the road is THAT far below you and you have to pick plant debris from your baby's head. #getoutside #naturebaby
Scoping lines and gearing up for a weekend of cheering at the Enduro World Series in Aspen! #ladyshredderintraining Trek Bicycle

Lots of changes this year but I'll always be an Oakley #factorypilot #babypilot #momathlete #thenovas
They say babies like to sleep on the move...that works well for the Novas! #getoutside
Happy first Father's Day JHK! You're the best daddy and husband we could ask for 😍#luckygirls
A-mazing feeling to be back in my original happy place even if for only 45 minutes! Now I have three happy places: #baby #furrbabies #bike Almost 7 weeks post-partum...we shall see how this feels later 😳 ☺️
6 weeks after helping to bring this little soul into the world and I have officially enjoyed 7 days of "real" hiking! I think I just might have to get back in the saddle this weekend! #babysteps #birthisadventureenough #giddyup 👶✨ 🏔🐾🌲🚲
We be like almost as big as "Funny Bunny" on our one month birffffday! Time for beers and burgers and milk to celebrate!
For McKenna's 2 week birthday, we gave her a real bath. She thought that was a crappy gift...
Welcome to the world McKenna Katherine Nova! Born May 2nd, 2016 at 5:07pm. 8 lbs :) 💓💓 ...ps: we're changing our last names to Nova!
Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes as baby continues to enjoy her water world! I have a lot of great resources here in Boulder...trying to remain patient 😜 Did ya know that average birth day for first time moms is 40 weeks, 6 days? I'll keep ya'll posted when the big day comes! #41weekstomorrow #nofilter #actualsize
First hummingbird at 7100 ft! Hi little buddy 🤗
Pull on my tides! #40weeks #fullmoon #celestialbody
Lovin' my furry kids as my soon to be human kid continues to bake! #snowday #39weeks #dueonthursday
Packing the "birth bag" for the big day..so far, this looks familiar 😜 #birthisnotabikeracebut
Does this baby make me look fat? Happy Easter ya'll! #36.5weeks #homestretch 🤗
#Nationalpuppyday ?!? Well, then here is a tribute to my boy Mr Crash at 5 months. Love you buddy!
Took 4 steps out our front door, put on our skis & skins, and toured around straight from the house. Thanks for breaking trail JHK! Who needs electricity, plows, or cars when you have this! #mountainliving #hopeidontgointolabor #mydogismy
Guess who was 10 weeks with child during this Trek Bicycle shoot! Banger sunrise photo Chris Milliman :)
Wearing my husbands baggies (sans one button snapped), one hour max and riding fat bikes on pavement. #howwedo #dontbeahater #7ishtogo Trek Bicycle PS: I HAVE ridden in the snow too ;) Loving the wide Q factor for these hips!
If I'm gonna have to "do winter"...at least I have my furry buds to keep me company...and break trail! #snowdog #altadog #mydogismy Ruffwear Performance Dog Gear
55 degree winter day is about as warm of a welcome as I could ask for just days after returning from Maui! Plus, the maiden voyage on my Trek Bicycle Farley 9.6 was awesome! #fatbikingwhilefat #28weeks #10ishtogo
Musings of a pregnant girl hiking at 10,000 ft..."I can still see my feet!"
This stretch of Haleakala Highway on Maui is one that has held me and a bicycle through many times and life changes. Maui itself has become a yard stick measuring the timeline of my life as it's the only place I've visited yearly over a long period of time. This particular stretch of road has hosted me through intervals for Olympic pursuits, mental visualizations of World Cup metal battles, painful legs and fatigue I thought I would never over come, day dreams, wind and rain. Yesterday I looked down and saw much that was familiar and important to me: the Tokyo Joe's sticker on this bike reminded me of where it all began. The team and sponsor that was my support and stepping stone to "making it" as a professional cyclist. The Gary Fisher bike - the man and brand that was and continues to be the brilliance behind a platform and company, Trek Bicycle, who has become my second family over 10 years of full-time professional racing. The Bontrager bicycles accessories and clothing that have been part of my costume, and Shimano MTB - the brand that made my first Tokyo Joes/Gary Fisher bike go fast enough to win my first NORBA National at Big Bear. These legs: the same ones that have completed more revolutions than I could possibly count and have pedaled all over the world. And, now, this belly: where a little girl grows and kicks me daily. What an amazing thing life is. This road and life are a platform for a process: an unfolding of brilliance and discovery of the self. My gratitude for all the people, miles, and experiences that have helped this process to unfold overwhelms me every second.
15 lbs heavier, 2 cup sizes bigger, at least half as fast...but the view is still 💗💓💗 x 1,000,000! Tokyo Joe's Trek Bicycle #Curlys #maui
No sand castles here! Just a belly moat for sunning my back side 🌴👍😜
Denver to Maui! I've been boarding this flight yearly (sometimes twice) since 2007 - what a great way to sign off on another incredible year. The trip focus was once about training for adventures on my bike...this round will be focused on an entirely different and new adventure :) Excited for 2016 - may yours be full of love for one another 💓 Thanks Larr and @tokyojoes for making this happen for so many years!
Merry Christmas from the HI-JHKs! Love to all.!! 💓
