Alex Ford Adventures

I wanted a place I could go to reminisce.

Somewhere to keep the races, mountain days, ski trips, rides, routes, people, and little details that make an adventure worth remembering.

Air Force Aim High Challenge

September 18–19, 2026 · Fairborn & Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio

Training for New York. Almost everything went wrong.

It was humid. I was late to the start and ran two miles just to get there, lost my phone, my calves started cramping after 13 miles, and my watch died at mile 25. The whole point was to get a hard training day in before New York, so somehow it still did exactly what I needed it to do.
