2,500+ Miles of Bike Trips!

My immediate future holds the great combination of:

• 50% work as a software consultant
  (and) 
• 50% long distance cycling trips

As a warm up, my bride of 30 years (thanks, Molly) and I will bike 500 miles along the upper Mississippi (Great River Road). We'll actually be in the middle of our ride on the 21st of May, the day of our anniversary. Doesn't everyone bike 70+ miles on such an epic day? We will be in search of ice cream to celebrate!

However, the Father of Waters trip will only be a warm up for the 2,000+ mile Grand Gaspe Tour which will start in early August. Both rides have their own custom designed jerseys created by the crack artistic design team of Rich and Molly. We use Voler's semi-custom design studio.

If you're curious, here' s a link to last Summer's Trans Superior Tour in the Lake Superior Region. A quick browse and read might help you understand why I love long distance cycling. In fact, to really understand, you must read: Purple Cows at Dawn!

Here are the proofs to our two new jerseys. If you see us cycling on the highways and byways of Canada and the USA, please gives us a wave and stop to chat!

WOW - this Grande Gasp tour looks phenomenal! I would love to see Quebec city, and the coasts of New Brunswick and Maine through a bike tour. Be sure to 'smell the roses' along the way - and esp. enjoye a few lobsters or lobter rolls. Also - get used to hearing yes pronounce 'AYUP!' :-)
