Lake Huron 1000 Roy and I attempted the Lake Huron 1000 challenge in June 2013. We failed due to mechanical problems (my battery reversed polarity).

Lake Huron 1000 (#4) Roy and I completed the Lake Huron 1000 challenge in June 2014. We were the 134th and 135th riders to conquer this challenge, and the 4th & 5th from Indiana.

National Park 50/25/12 (#5) Roy and I took the National Parks challenge. 50 sites in 25 states in 12 months. We started in September 2015 and 7 trips later (for me) we finished on August 17, 2016. I was the 550th person to earn this certification. The Story |
B2B36 (#6) Roy and I are thinking about doing a border-to-border in 36 hours ride from Windsor, Ontario to Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. The route is 1,560 miles and is 23 riding hours. The "Wall" is a current concern.
