BICYCLE TOURING
After my brother and I took a short mountain tour in Colorado at ages 18 and 16, we made a pact that before I turned 25 years old, we would tour on bicycles across the United States. Well, it never happened. A number of years later, as a result of my brother Cory’s motivation, in 1994, we rode two tours together in consecutive years. From that point, I had to prove I could forge on and conquer new challenges, therefore this brief overview. If you want the really long-winded version, just e-mail, and ask me one question. You will be sorry you did. Anyway…
