@eilirahnel goes above and beyond for our team’s mission, and this past month was no exception nor much of a deviation from the norm for her! Eili doesnt talk about community service — she just does it! She dropped in on midday Evergreen-led I5 Colonnade work party. Only a week later, she organized and prepared a successful meal for the @jubileewomenscenter . She’s been racing consistently at @wednights22 all spring and summer. And she does all this with a smile while raising a family with three young kids. Eili is our superhero 🦸‍♀️! (fb)

"You can. And you are." Coming from a strong mountain bike background, Abby is focusing on endurance racing this year. She is three rides into the grande Vicious Cycles gravel series. These rides have been upwards of 90 miles with 6,000-8,000 feet of elevation gain. She just wrapped up Wahkiacus Gravel Premier in Goldendale and was treated to breath taking mountain views, "character building" cat 2 climbs, cute animal sightings, and well stocked aid stations. "With each new ride comes a longer distance and elevation than I've ever done before. And I am not your conventional racer due to my labor intensive career in carpentry/construction. So I hope to inspire and show you can do really hard things with enough food, heart, focus and support. I'm coming away from every one of these rides with new friends and I absolutely adore this community and support. At the end of the day, that's what matters most." #womenscycling #spokeswomenracing #gravelracing #gravel #endurancecycling (fb)
