Some weeks go by in a blur. Others leave a quiet, lasting glow in your heart. This past week was one of those rare, beautiful ones that gently remind me why I do what I do—and why I love the people I work with and the life I’ve built here in Vietnam. As I sit […]

There’s something magical about the night before a training session. Your bike is ready, your kit is laid out, and your mind is already on the road ahead. The anticipation fills you with energy. That’s exactly how I felt last week—excited, prepared, and eager for a cycling session I had been looking forward to all […]
