Let the adventure begin!

Fitzgerald Mountain will always mean so much to us—it’s where everything began. What started as just another day of biking turned into something unexpected when a forgotten phone led Ryan back to the parking lot—and straight into our story. Thanks to a bold friend (and a little nudge), we instantly connected over being from New Mexico. From our first rides together, our lives quickly became centered around biking. Ryan encouraged me to push past my limits and believe in myself, and somewhere between the rides, the laughs, and the scraped knees, we built something even more meaningful. What started as chance turned into a partnership built on adventure, support, and new hobbies. 💍 The Proposal On June 26, 2025, during a trip to Breckenridge, Ryan asked me to marry him in the most “us” way possible. We hiked up Loveland Pass, and while I was busy doing exactly what I love—looking at rocks—he called me over. “Hey Steph, come look at this one.” When I walked over, instead of another rock, I found Ryan down on one knee. Completely surprised (and still probably thinking about rocks), I said yes to forever with my favorite adventure partner. We can’t wait to keep riding through life side by side 🤍
