After having an incredible adventure Crossing America in celebration of my 65th birthday last year I’ve become addicted to bicycle touring. The freedom of the open road, facing the elements and personal physical challenges of riding a bicycle long distance through our beautiful Country and most of all meeting folks from all walks of life and even foreign countries is invigorating to the soul.

Equally important I have chosen to use my adventure as a means for raising awareness of and money to defeat a crippling and life taking disease Multiple Sclerosis. A disease I know we can cure.
