The Road to Purgatory A season of staying active, showing up, and choosing growth.

Road to Purgatory is an invitation to keep moving—physically and mentally—through the long stretch between winter and riding season. It’s about preparing your body, tuning your bike, and refusing to let momentum slip even when life gets in the way.

I’ll be sharing how I’m preparing—physically, mentally, and mechanically—as we move toward this year’s Purgatory 100.

You don’t have to sign up.
You don’t have to keep up.
Just stay in motion.

Ride when you can.
Train indoors when you must.
Strengthen your body.
Keep your bike tuned.
Learn to fuel your body.
Stay connected to community.

Road to Purgatory isn’t a program or a challenge—it’s a posture.
A reminder that motion, however imperfect, is better than waiting.

Whether you’re training for an event, rebuilding strength, or just trying not to drift, you’re already on the road the moment you choose to move.
