Joined December 2012
Dream team: @KathrynBertine in charge of @LeTourFemmes with me as the premier #WomensCycling advocacy chocolatier! The world would get equal Tours de France plus some fantastic chocolate bonbons! @amaurysport, please give Kathryn a call; I believe you have her number. 😉
@festinagirl @CRcyclist @HalfTheRoad @HomestretchFdn I truly believe marketing these bonbons could be used to secure the funding needed to sustainably create two more weeks at @LeTourFemmes. Let's go, @amaurysport. Put me in charge and I'll get it done. 😘

I'm super excited to travel back to Tucson for this special 10th Anniversary screening of @HalfTheRoad! I was there at the world premiere back in 2014, and looking back through all these years, the feeling I had was true: it was the monumental start of so much good for our sport.
Ok Tucson! One week to go! Thur Jan 25 @HalfTheRoad at @TheLoftCinema benefit for @HomestretchFdn! We sold out the theater in 2014. Can you help us do it again? Tix here: https://t.co/2slW5Mxr2E Wanna ride over? Do it! @ElGrupoCycling will operate a secured bike valet. 🚴🏼♀️🥰🙏

Great to see equalized prize money for the @FlandersClassic races. Along with that is the all-important live race coverage, which allows for a lot of growth, visibility, and ROI for the events and team sponsors. Spring Classics start this Feb. 25 with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad! #OHN

Working with chocolate requires a lot of skill, patience, and attention to detail. This is especially true when making chocolate bonbons. This post from The Chocolate Journalist gives a great look behind the scenes, plus chocolatiers like me share our insights in response.
The Chocolate Journalist asked: "What’s the most difficult part of making bonbons?" https://t.co/RUav2NK1NC Me: "One of the most difficult aspects of making bonbons is juggling science and art while time is working against you." See the comments of her post for my full answer!

Just my luck: I launched this new account yesterday, which was a day that people all across Twitter couldn't follow accounts. Welp, what can you do. 🤷♂️ Eat chocolate, of course. I mean make chocolate... I have Valentine's orders to fulfill. ...Okay, both. I'm doing both. 😄

How so super meaningful is this?!! Visiting @HomestretchFdn with @KathrynBertine on the 9th Anniversary of @HalfTheRoad! She's wearing her @HomestretchFdn Equality Kit, and I'm wearing one of the original Half the Road shirts, which I also wore to the world premiere in 2014!

Jan 29 is a meaningful day for me. Our 9th anniv of @HalfTheRoad. The film that sparked a movement for equality in cycling & led to @LaCoursebyTDF then @LeTourFemmes. (Plenty of personal meltdowns too all in the book STAND.) Still worth every struggle. Equality always is.❤️📚🎥

Last time I was in Tucson: 2014 for the world premiere of @HalfTheRoad. Since then, one of many things @KathrynBertine also created was @HomestretchFdn. I was so glad to join her and the Stretchies today for their weekly group ride—two days before @HalfTheRoad's 9th anniversary!
Community. ❤️🚴🏽♀️🚴🏽 Our Friday Stretchie Spin brings people together in Tucson and we just love that so darn much. Cycling is so much more than bike racing. Come join us! Spin with the Stretchies: 60 min recovery ride (15mph max) on Fridays at 10a from @LeBuzzCaffe.

Bike industry: this post is LOUD. Ayesha is doing a lot of emotional labor for free - she says this herself - and you should make sure it isn't for nothing. Read this, take it to heart, and then take ACTION. Don't let valuable resources go to waste.
Until our anger is your anger, your activism/ advocacy is merely performative, but It doesn’t have to be. https://t.co/UgqfUYgIZI

Please read this from @ayesuppose. Think about it, and take it to heart. Listen to the voices that aren't being heard. Challenge yourself and those close to you to take action, to do more than we are already doing. Together.
Do Something. https://t.co/tAkLpPbLdI
