Cycling

I am primarily an ultra-distance bikepacker. I have completed numerous tours over the years, including the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (2,500 miles), the Allegheny Mountains Loop (400 miles), the TransWisconsin (583 miles), the Vermont Super 8 (620 miles), the Delaware County Catskills Dirt Circuit (117 miles) and scores of overnighters and self-made routes, all self-supported, carrying my own food, water, camping gear, tools, and clothing. I like putting in big days, riding from dawn to dusk, but I also like to stop at beautiful places and feel the vibrations of our remarkable and precious planet.
