CURRENT MISSION

learning how to bike tour, the hard way!

ABOUT ME

I try to be happy in everything I do, with my family and friends, and in my free time. I'm very easy-going, I believe it is important to be strong (not just physically) and capable, and that there is value to having a certain amount of self-sufficiency, and being able to take care of yourself. I love being outdoors, and the places you can see and experience if you work for it. I get restless being in the same place for too long. For the past few years, climbing was a huge part of my life - All my trips revolved around it and I was training to be a guide, until a shoulder injury in the spring sidelined that plan. Now I am re-learning all about the other awesome experiences you can have when you don't think about climbing all the time... namely, travel and bikes!

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.... too many to list!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair bit about living and playing outdoors, front country, backcountry, winter and summer. I climb both rock and ice, I ski, I camp, I hike, sail when I can, and I know about the gear needed and how to make it all happen.
By the end of this trip, I might just know something about bikes too...!
