This blog will be used to chronicle my bicycle riding adventures.

I have always enjoyed riding bikes, but really became an avid cyclist in about 2001 when I began commuting to work (26-mile round trip) by bicycle.  For about the last ten years of my employment, if I was at work, I got there by bike.  I rode in all types of weather, and found each to be rewarding and challenging.  I began self-contained bicycle touring in about 2005.  Since then, I have ridden in various States unsupported, including trips in Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
