I’m a life long resident of Northern California and have been exploring our roads and trails by bicycle for over five decades.

I enjoy all types of cycling and have been using my bicycle for recreation, commuting and errands for many years.  One of my favorite things to do is dream up adventures, map out cycling routes and making the ride a reality!  I’ve ridden coast-to-coast across the U.S., cycled from Canada to Mexico and ridden in several international destinations.  In addition to larger scale trips, I find smaller one or two night bikepacking trips leaving from my front door to be equally rewarding.

Helping others increase their confidence on two wheels and incorporate the joy of cycling in to their lives is why I became a League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructor.  Enjoy the ride!
