Bicycle Touring Information
Bicycle touring is my passion. I ride because I am drawn to the call of the road. It allows me to immerse myself in the natural beauty of the countryside, to feel a cool breeze on my face, and to experience a slower pace of life. It allows me to reflect on my life, and explore my dreams.
I ride to see horses grazing in lush, green pastures and cows lounging under giant oak trees. I ride to meet kind, generous people and dine in their homey, small town cafes. Along the way, I discover my inner strength through physical and mental challenges. My body is stronger and my spirit renewed. I am filled with memories that will be with me forever.
