Who I am

The short version

I'm BlakeRides, a competitive cyclist and content creator training and racing through the 2027–2028 season. I share the whole journey: structured training, race-day stories, gear that survives real miles, and honest reviews. No hype, no freebie gloss: just a rider putting in the work and documenting it. The last two seasons were quiet because I lost my sister in May 2025 and stepped away to grieve. This season is the comeback, and it's why the plan means what it does.

Every ride is documented: structured training, race-day stories, and honest gear reviews. No hype, no freebie gloss: just a rider putting in the miles and telling the story.
