It was last fall when I realized that everything had changed. First there were the back-to-back high-country rides where my friends and I were the only ones on mountain bikes without motors.

Two summers ago, I went shopping for a mountain bike group ride. I'd just moved to the Lake Tahoe area, and everywhere else I'd lived, races and group rides were how I'd made friends. I knew that if I could find a good weekly ride, I would find my new community. The first ride I checked out had only three participants, including myself.

When I first meet SonLam Nguyen on a humid, cloudy morning in Los Angeles, I’m sweaty, frazzled and over 30 minutes late. Having grossly underestimated how long it would take to retrieve my rental car from the hotel valet and then drive in increasingly frantic circles around a parking garage trying to find a spot, I’m now finally here, power-walking through the botanical gardens where I’m meeting him and a photo crew hired by The Red Bulletin.

En las salidas en grupo, era más rápida que los demás, hasta el punto de que a veces se preguntaba por qué los demás iban tan despacio.
