This past Saturday I made a snap decision to go ride the mountain bike. I was told not to run or ski but the doctor said nothing about riding! I had 30 minutes to finish my breakfast, clean and lube the bike, check tire and shock pressure, and find my riding clothes. Yes, I said […]
10 years ago today I flew from Boston to Atlanta, GA to start my Appalachian Trail thru-hike. It would be the first step towards completing a 15 year long dream. I first climbed Mt. Katahdin, which is the northern terminus of the AT when I was just 13. While on the top I marveled at […]
