Two mornings of hiking and enjoying the great outdoors with these furry goofballs...before Auger fell into a marmot hole! Scouted out the lower portion of the Dream Stream for some fly fishing spots. Now it's time to let the furballs relax while I go for a bike ride! #RadicalRanger #offdutyranger #marmotholes https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqDCZMF2SA/?igshid=1bhgffz8pzgqv

"The heights of great men, reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night." You're doing something right when you smile this much up a big hill. Had to do the short gravel route since I was riding between work, but this #GravelGoddess pedaled the competition into my gravel dust! Two guys got me by under a 25 second margin in the gravel. According to Strava, I took 4th overall for route and 7th all-time overall for the #CastlewoodCanyonStatePark gravel descent. Apparently they wasted the chip timer and didn't post official times, so thanks to Strava for picking up the slack. #MyBikeMeredith was clutch for a competitive ride! The Elephant Rock gravel routes were overall a disappointment and I do not suggest them for #Gravelthusiasts, but it was a gorgeous day and the people were friendly. Never too bad of a combination for a good bike ride. #RadicalRanger says let the #GravelDiaries continue! See you in August for the serious races! And never pay $30 for a digital photo...just rock the watermark! https://www.instagram.com/p/Byf4jIelo5X/?igshid=w0lxtp75pfvr

Welcome to the family, Traeger! Found this 2016 Trek 1.2 Compact H2 in near mint condition for a steal today. In my quest for bike shorts with belt loops, this guy stole my ♥️! #pedalkasey #RadicalRanger #offdutyranger #rangerdiaries #RideUntilThePavementEnds #RoadRacesInMyFuture #ClimbingRepeats https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0kWdOBV43/?igshid=1mv0phbfcagut

I had the privilege to spend this past week at Barr Lake State Park for my Certified Interpretive Guide course. I had the opportunity to develop my skills in creating and implementing public outdoor and environmental education programs. As part of this course, I got to work on a portion of a 3-day #BikeCentric program I'm developing for the beginning of June. I had the chance to share my story about my #graveldiaries and had the chance to bike around the lake. I'm excited to share some of the things I've been working so hard towards with all of you very soon! Stayed tuned for the launch of #RadicalRanger and to see what's in the works! #offdutyranger #gravelandsmiles #parkrangering #bikeatwork (at Barr Lake State Park, Colorado State Parks) https://www.instagram.com/radical_ranger_kasey/p/BvqP7eblECW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bolcx6z21qp8

You know the saying, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"? Well in #discgolf , sometimes you try to take a shot too hard and end up with your disc stuck 20 feet from the ground, trapped between a cottonwood tree and its hateful bark. As I sat back capturing my epic failure on camera, I was entertained by Jimmy's efforts to slay this proverbial dragon for me. Other platitudes of wisdom quickly surfaced in this state of affairs, like "more than you can shake a stick at," "what goes up must come down," and "pride cometh before the fall." To this last point, I thankfully was able to narrowly escape from the stick hurdling towards my face as I snapped this photo before my disc was jostled loose. Although Jimmy had saved my disc and, consequently, the entire day, I decided to take the coward's approach the rest of the round and snap cute pictures of my #DiscDog Auger! #RadicalRanger #offdutyranger #parkrangering #discgolfgirls #badtree (at Widefield, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/radical_ranger_kasey/p/BvahVwpg_9K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qmwdmdk54l2

Took the hubby out for an easy pedal down the Pikes Peak Greenway today. Good chance to wake up my legs for this upcoming race season. He seemed to enjoy himself as well, until it started to hail and the clouds opened up in liquid vengeance. Lovely motorists seemed to enjoy splashing my face in the flooded puddles on the road. I still couldn't help but smile. It was like a metaphor for cycling and endurance racing, and no matter the punishments this crazy cyclist still overflows with love. #RadicalRanger #parkrangering #offdutyranger #graveldiaries #iamspecialized #PedalPower #BikingInTheRain #SprintsAndQOMs (at Colorado Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/radical_ranger_kasey/p/BvUznP-gtHT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x6o9ux2ci2rx

When I went out to the archery range yesterday, I started at 20 yds, aimed my bow looking over my arrow, and took my first shot in a few months. The joy of being back behind my bow immediately faded as I saw my arrow sail towards the target...and 3 FEET to the right! How could I make such a terrible shot? Well, it's been so long since I've shot my compound bow vs. some training bows for kids that I kinda forgot about my peeps sight. It was then I realized it had been far too long since I have been behind the strings! Moral of the story...even when you don't get a chance to hang out often, never forget about your peeps! #IShotWellAfterThat #RadicalRanger #offdutyranger #parkrangering #girlswithbows🏹 #bowhuntinglife #ShootYourBowOften (at Cheyenne Mountain State Park) https://www.instagram.com/radical_ranger_kasey/p/BvTAVTqgptr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3kglejo7gk75
