After 12 years, I’m hitting the road again for another cross-country bicycle journey.

This time, I’m raising funds to help ensure more young people have access to the life-changing benefits of sports.

I’ve always loved being on my bike—whether it’s mountain biking, road cycling, or touring. For me, cycling represents freedom, independence, health, and happiness.

In 2013, I cycled 4,200 miles solo on my Road to Rhode trip from the Oregon coast to Rhode Island. Now, as I approach my 50th birthday this summer, I feel incredibly fortunate to be healthy and able to take on this journey again!

This time, I’ve added a new purpose to my ride—raising funds for the LouCity & Racing Foundation, an organization I’m proud to serve on as a Board member. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting youth sports, particularly in Southern Indiana and Kentucky, and through our partnerships, we’re able to make an impact nationwide.

By end of February, I’m hoping to have this website updated and ready to take messages, support, and donations. Stay tuned, and thanks for your support.
