About

Welcome and thanks for stopping by.  On November 11, 2019 (give or take a day) I plan to begin an epic 55,000+/- km, 3 year long bike ride.

This is a ride that will have me begin in St. John’s Newfoundland in the middle of a Canadian winter; heading west ward across Canada and then from the Canadian Arctic to the bottom of Argentina.

This is a ride that I have been planning and working very hard towards (and at the same time been constantly distracted from) since the end of 2011.  The working, planning and dreaming began immediately after my first and life changing 6,500 km bike ride through western and northern Canada in 2011.

Part of the motivation behind my November 11 start date is to pedal a bike across Canada in the middle of a Canadian winter.  In my world this is perhaps the greatest challenge that I can come up with that would possibly push me to the point of failure.  I have to believe that at my age that some of my best years are still ahead of me.  And this seems like the my way to prove this to myself. To push and challenge yourself to your possible limit in my mid years will give me my courage for the future.

“May your greatest dreams and goals be ahead of you; not behind you.”
