This week we welcome artist and cyclist Lisa Congdon. After a handful of charity bike rides, Lisa was drawn into cycling when she moved to Portland as a way to make friends in a new city. With a few years of road riding under her belt, Lisa was drawn into gravel cycling in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. This elementary school teacher-turned artist, activist and cyclist has found a way to beautifully weave together her passions in a meaningful way by creating art that represents the things she is passionate about. Lisa describes how cycling allows her to let her mind wander into the creative spaces that help to get her creativity flowing for her artistic projects, and why cycling is so helpful for her creative practice. Not only does Lisa create beautiful art, she uses her work as a vehicle for social change, and has woven that into the work that she has done in the cycling space.Follow Lisa on Instagram @lisacongdon and visit her website at www.lisacongdon.com Follow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty’s Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy
