🍁 “Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.” -Neil Gaiman 🍂 (at Sherman Hill Historic District)

The essence of being on a bike is that you are alone, just you the road and your thoughts ✨

My motorcycle is in California and it gets dark by the time I get home from work. At least there’s wine, pho and new books right? (at Sherman Hill Historic District)

Words can’t even describe how I felt last night - seeing the entire Des Moines community coming together for @paigekleckner. There were many hugs, so much laughter and some tears shed - but at the end of it all we raised over $23,000 for her and her family. And that’s in addition to the online fundraising we’ve already been doing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much 🖤 (at The Iowa Taproom)

Don’t forget tonight is Pints for @paigekleckner! Head over to the @iowataproom from 6-9pm. All proceeds go to Paige and her husband, and we have a HUGE silent auction. There are over 100 items to bid on - and we’ll also be selling a special run of @theburnoutbabes tees for $20 each! // Photo: @caseychristine (at Joshua Tree National Park)

Motorcycles weren’t the only rad vehicles @babesrideout 😻 @jessiegentry (at Joshua Tree, California)

A couple weeks before we left for @babesrideout, both @paigekleckner and I got matching magical stairway tattoos so we would always be able to find a way back to one another. Mine leads to her, and hers leads to me. I still can’t believe my best friend is halfway across the country fighting to recover from a severe motorcycle accident. But I do know, no matter what, we are always connected ✨ photo: @forever_goldd (at Carrie Black Tattoo)

Taking as much time as I can to think of all the amazingly rad things we did @babesrideout before what happened on Sunday. This is from the day we all rode through Joshua Tree National Park, spending time shooting photos and enjoying the warm weather (and also avoiding snakes 🐍🙈) (at Joshua Tree National Park)

The massive amount of support for Paige has been so overwhelming - and we are all so thankful that she has so many wonderful people rallying behind her 💜 We hit our goal of $10k in less than one day and there’s still so much time to keep giving that we’ve bumped up our goal so that we can give her and her family as much assistance as possible. If you are able, please follow the link in my profile and donate today ⚡️ (at Des Moines, Iowa)

Those of you know me, know my other half, my sister in everything but blood, @paigekleckner, and how much she means to me. So you know how hard it is for me to write this post. - This past Sunday, when we were riding home from California, Paige was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. She is in critical condition at the hospital there with multiple injuries and faces a long recovery ahead. She has her family with her, but needs all of the love and support that we can possibly muster. - We have set up a GoFundMe for her and her husband Austin to help them with a growing list of expenses. (link in my profile) Any little bit you can donate will get them the help that they need. - If you’re local to Des Moines, we’re also having a silent auction fundraiser. It will be this Wednesday, Nov. 1, 6:00–9:00pm at the The Iowa Taproom. If you’re interested in giving a physical donation, please send an email to [email protected]. - (at Des Moines, Iowa)
