| Introduction | I'm a lifelong motorcyclist. I'm planning to ride my 2001 BMW K1200LT -- aka The Bike-A-Lounger -- from Edmonton, AB, west through the Rocky Mountains to Tofino, BC on Canada's Pacific coast and then east to Cape Spear, NL, on the Atlantic side of this great country. Then, I'm planning to head south to Boston, where my very patient wife Mindy will be waiting for me. It's a journey of 16,000 kilometres (10,000 miles). Along the way, I'll be accompanied by the spirit of Stompin' Tom Connors, Canada's unofficial poet laureate and travelling minstrel. And hopefully, I'll raise a little money for the Ride For Sight, Canada's longest-running motorcycle charity fundraiser! |
| Interests | I have always worn glasses and I've always feared that eyesight would someday limit my ability to ride. My mother had aged-related macular degeneration, a condition that causes blindness due to changes the shape of the retuina. The annual Ride for Sight raises funds for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. My cross-Canada ride will have some real value for others if I can raise some money to support that cause. |
