Trippin’ on Two Wheels
My Birthday Ride from Columbus to Cleveland
This year, I turned 60... and I wanted to do something challenging, noteworthy, and soul-stirring. So I decided to ride my bike, solo, from Columbus to Cleveland, over 170 miles along the Ohio to Erie Trail (OTET). Not to prove something, but to honor something, my journey.
Why I Ride?
This isn't about how fast I go. Its about what I leave behind with each mile. About what I find in the silence between towns.

Growth to the Grave
This ride is part of my new personal mantra: "Growth to the Grave." Because the growth doesn’t stop. It’s in every mile. Every breath. Every uphill climb and every quiet moment on the trail. This is my birthday gift to myself. A reminder that I’m still growing, and still trippin’ with purpose.
This isn’t just a ride. It’s a reflection on life, recovery, and resilience.

Embracing Change
Embracing Change
3 Years. 2 Rigs. Countless Roads.
I just wrapped up my third year trippin’ across the States—campgrounds, coastlines, and everything in between. What started as a way to heal turned into a lifestyle of presence, grit, and gratitude.
From the backroads of Appalachia to the stillness of desert mornings, I’ve been chasing clarity and collecting stories. This journey isn’t about escape—it’s about becoming.
