How We Met
Two years ago, we met for the first time in Carbondale, brought together by our shared love for outdoor adventures like biking, running, and hiking. Through the mutual connection of a friend — Strava — we began exchanging kudos and offering encouragement after each ride and run. What started as simple interactions has since blossomed into something truly special.
