Thousands of miles. Hundreds of thousands of opportunities.

Approximate Location:  CULLOWHEE, NC!

My 10,000-mile route starts in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and concludes thirteen states, three Provinces, and twenty-two National Parks later in my hometown of Cullowhee, North Carolina.  The expedition, called Why I Ride, serves one purpose "to help those in need."  I ride to raise money for a number of charities and will volunteer my own time along the way wherever and however the opportunities present themselves.  I will ride to communicate the importance of donating time and money to help the needy.  I will ride to lead by example and show the importance and capability of the bicycle as a means of transportation.  I will ride to teach young Americans the benefits of clean energy, conservation, and education.  I will ride to make a difference.
