Blue Sky MTB Skills Progression and Coaching

12/30/2025

2025 and now I’m a mom. Ending this year feels so good. So complete.

But the truth is, I’ve felt a lot like a child at times over the past 12 months…
I was loved, supported, heard, helped, & hugged. I was reassured, & checked in on. I didn’t feel like I had the weight of the world on me, because the weight of my fears (and my literal 20 lb child) was passed around, and dispersed until it was barely there by family and friends.

Lucky is an understatement. I have no words.

I soaked up every minute. Now that’s all, goodnight. 🌙

The END of October?? HOWWW??

Honestly, I wish I had more riding content for you all.

I wish I could say I just got right back out there and took time for me, and it was all worth it because my mental health needed it, and it felt so great to have that “me time”.
Or that I felt like I kept up with my pre baby life in ANY way.
… but I’d be lying.

I had so many people around me offering to help so I could get out on my bike, but I didn’t WANT to. I wanted every baby snuggle, every minute, every thing.

I know bike rides will happen again, probably sooner than later 🤣 but for now.. I’m ok with taking it easy.
AND Bikes will always be there, that’s why they’re so cool.

It hasn’t been perfect. But the few times I have made it out & been able to teach have been special in their own way for sure.

Ari George Gilbertson

Born in the first hour of daylight on 05/30/25

He’s completely torn my heart wide open and shattered my definition of love.

I’ll be in a new born fever dream if anyone needs me.

I wish I knew then that real progress just TAKES TIME. ⏳
There’s some skills I’d LOVE to rush and get better at, but it takes:
- dedication to progressing a SPECIFIC skill
- consistency
- gaining knowledge
- just…time!

Be the one who sticks with it for the long haul!!
We got this 👏🏼👏🏼.
