About

Retired from IT management in 2024. Riding bikes. Exploring new places. And slowly building my YouTube channel. 

Yes, I'm on my bike. Yes, I like this a lot

Though I have been an ardent road-tripper over the years, and a backpacker since 1993, I recently started bike touring in 2010 with a 1-nighter from Easton, PA to Ocean City, NJ, a tour of about 130 miles. The irony is I wanted to cycle across the United States when I was a senior in High School, but work, university, and then family got in the way. It's only now that my children are out of high school and into university themselves I find the time to "sneak away" for a week to go on a tour by myself.

Thumbs up for bikes!

Want to read more about my experiences? Here are a list of the bike tours I have ridden and journaled. If you like them, please leave me a comment and I'd love to hear from you - hope to see you on the road someday. If you're interested in my YouTube channel, head over to YouTube

  • October 2019 - Downeast513 miles, 12 days, 2 nor-easters, 1 dog-bite. Roughly following the East Coast Greenway from Maine to Pennsylvania.
  • September 2018 - You CAN go home again - 6 days/378 miles riding from Syracuse to Philadelphia through NY and linking together rail trails and lesser-traveled roads.
  • March 2018 - Silver Comet Express. 3-days from Birmingham, AL to Alpharetta, GA - riding home covering the entire Chief Ladiga/Silver Comet trails.

If you feel that any of the journals were enjoyable, please give them a "like" and leave a comment - I do respond to all comments. And, I'd love to run into other tourers on the road - cheers!
