Randonneuring around the Hood Canal |
Randonneuring
My passion is randonneuring with Seattle
International Randonneurs (SIR). By far the most friendly, ego-less
group of cyclists I have ever met. Needless to say, long-distance unsupported
riding is a constantly evolving practice and I learn a great deal with
every brevet, but I enjoy it and plan to continue.

In 2007 I'll be back in France for PBP.

I want to ride the Great Divide, the Silk Road and more epic tours in the mountains of the world. I do want to ride around the world someday...anyone ridden from Paris to Vladivostok? Silk Road, Tibet (that ain't China!), Australia, NZ, Vietnam? Hopefully my family will join me on some journeys.
