About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do all that I can do, with no regrets, and without stepping on toes

ABOUT ME

Non smoker, retired, divorced, keen cyclist.
Like to cook, enjoy a glass of wine (red or white).
Trying to learn a little French so I can converse when I ride in France. I currently have what I call "survival French", just enough to get meal and a bed.

PHILOSOPHY

I know this sounds corny, but it's true. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As cyclist, I have met many people on the road, who have shared their homes with me, and I would like to return the favor.

Interests

Love bicycling,old cars,and golf. Spend 6 months in Canada (unless I'm cycling somewhere) and 6 months in Florida. Always up for a new experience, or new adventure. Never want to say "should have done that when I could have".

Music, Movies, and Books

Smooth Jazz and country music are my favorites, but I listen to it all, except heavy metal. Prefer to read mysteries, and of course, the morning paper.
Big fan of football and news TV channels

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungy jumped 229 feet in New Zealand. Did a full Ironman at age 62 (now 70 but feel 40) Just finished 2 weeks rafting the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon (280 miles) In 2010 hope to cycle one of the previous routes of Le Tour de France.
