Roadrunner Motorcycle Touring & Travel
This was the first article I ever had published in print. It was an emotional piece since it featured the first long-distance ride I ever took alone with my father.
I received my first contracted travel assignment in 2013. I was hired to explore Texas Hill Country.
In hindsight, heading to Texas and into Mexico in July, was not the wisest weather time to visit. But the enthusiasm of my first assignment was too good to pass up.
In 2017, my writing life came full circle. After unexpectedly losing my dad I set about on a two month healing journey across the United States. After picking up my dad’s motorcycle in Hartford, CT I traveled to Tennessee. From there I traveled off road from Tennessee to Oregon on the TransAmerica Trail before heading home to Colorado.
In addition to weekly blogs shared through the magazine with readers, I was offered back to back issues to feature my story.
These two pieces are part of a City Escape feature. The premise is to create a one day round trip route highlighting the scenery and points of interest.
I shared two routes. The first was through an area called Rampart Range on my way to the top of the 14,115 foot Pikes Peak. The second was a one-way dirt road up to the 12,183 summit of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park.
ADV MOTO
This piece in ADV Moto featured several interesting Mountain Passes throughout Colorado.
Thunderroads Colorado
The nice folks at ThunderRoads reached out to me after reading my TransAmerica Trail blog. For a number of months I contributed to their magazine focusing on the Colorado Riding Community. Unfortunately, the Colorado division of the magazine closed their doors in 2016.
Honorable Mentions
Over the years I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting and riding with several amazing people. Occasionally, they’ve been kind enough to mention me in their work.
