Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone: Looking Back at 2025 and ahead to 2026.
Each year I pick a goal that pushes me out of my comfort zone. In 2025 that meant launching Sodus Bay Bike & Adventure Co. and pitching in the Wayne County EDC competition. For 2026, it's the 50-mile Kekua Gravel Classic and building community at our new Rochester Bicycle + Fitness location, including a new pickup spot for Sodus Bay Bike.
