As most of you know my father moved back to Italy to the village he was born in named Fossalto. It means more trips to an Italy because he is 87. Yeah yeah twist my arm! 🩷

It’s been a long time since I was in the village for Ferragosto festivities. Although very hot, it was nice to be in the village for the festivals and see so many friends and family that I have made from the years of visiting my entire life. Of course the trip included riding bikes that Eric and I have living there… my old CX bike is still thriving 😂🤦‍♀️ and living its best life in an Italy.

Thank you to all my clients for your flexibility… and NOW I’m back and able to take clients again. Text, call, or DM for an appointment or use the online scheduling . I have a lot of bike fits scheduled as well as PT sessions but I have availability next week.

Enjoy some pics of my time in the motherland! 🇮🇹

💜thanks for love Chainbuster Racing Check out the community they have built via gravel and mountain bike races!

🚴 Is Your Bike Working For You... or Against You?
You can have the lightest bike, the fastest tires, and the best gear—but if your bike doesn't fit you, you're leaving comfort, power, and confidence on the trail.
A proper bike fit can help you:
✅ Reduce neck, back, knee, and hand pain
✅ Improve pedaling efficiency
✅ Increase power and endurance
✅ Climb more comfortably
✅ Descend with greater confidence
✅ Finish long rides feeling stronger

For endurance mountain biking, where you're spending 3 or even 6 hours in the saddle, a good bike fit isn't a luxury—it's one of the best investments you can make.

At Chainbuster Racing, we've Dr. Maria Carrelli at Physiofit with our bike fits. Maria isn't just a Doctor of Physical Therapy—she's also a passionate cyclist with specialized training in bike fitting and a focus on helping endurance athletes prevent injuries, improve mobility, and perform at their best. She's even created an app for working out! It's like have a trainer in your pocket!

If you've been dealing with aches and pains or just don't feel quite "right" on your bike, we highly recommend scheduling a professional bike fit with Maria.

💬 Have you ever had a professional bike fit? What was the biggest improvement you noticed? Share your experience in the comments—we'd love to hear your story!

Measure three times right?

With the Essential or Clinical Bike Fit, we set you up on the fit bike and get measurements of contact points of your ideal numbers . From there we order your new bike based on the numbers or we retrofit your current bike the best we can based on how many changes we need and can make.

Regardless … lots of measuring 😆

I fell in a creek last week 😂

I always tell folks, if you’re doing rad things like riding bikes, running ,lifting, suspending yourself in the air (ahem ) , etc, etc… you might get injured . BUT all those injuries are nothing compared to the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle!

Keep doing rad things.

Also, I had to take one for the team so that photo cred of my knee didn’t fall in the very slippery creek with her fancy camera. 😮‍💨
