Just Show Up (Rocking That Hardtail with the Pull Brakes): Vertical Weekend Recap with Trish and Jen

This week I welcome back my friend Trish for a reunion episode, because we literally just got home from a super fun event in the Northeast Kingdom with a bunch of bad ass women and we can’t shut up about it already...

We spent the weekend at the Vertical event, organized and hosted by Heidi Myers of Rasputitsa and Mary Zider and Ande Smith of Colavita, which on the face of it, was about gravel and mountain bike riding and fly fishing. But as you’ll hear, there was SO much more going on, and we left with a whole lot more than sore legs and tushies.

If Trish and I have done our job right, you will end this episode on the edge of your seat wondering how you can get in on all of the Vertical fun the next time, so you'd better start following @rasputitsagravel on Instagram, and keep up with all the good stuff on the Rasputitsa Gravel website.

So many AMAZING sponsors and supporting brands helped to make the Vertical event amazing - it takes a village, people! Huge gratitude to Colavita, Dirt Church Brewing, Barr Hill Gin, Stowe Cider, Topo Chico, Orvis, BlueSky MTB, Kingdom Trails, Jasper Hill Farm, Northwoods Stewardship Center, Rishi Tea, Indigo Sole, Caroline’s Dream, Pete and Gerry’s, live music from Rutabaga Collective, and amazing local food options For The Love of Food and Auntie DeeDee’s.

Last but not least, if you haven’t yet listened to my episodes with all of the amazing women who were directly involved in this weekend, you really should get on that RIGHT THIS SECOND!:

• Heidi Myers of Rasputitsa fame
• Cori Brago 
• Jenn Minery
• Sabra Davison

Grab a friend, get out there, and start getting a little wild!
