After retirement, I bought a motorhome and set out to ride my bike in all fifty states. That was the plan, anyway. There have been more detours than I ever imagined, but the finish line is finally in sight.

I’m a retired elementary physical education teacher, traveler, cyclist, and writer. Whether you’re a cyclist, a traveler, or someone wondering if it’s not too late to try something new, I’d love to have you along for the ride. I hope my stories will encourage you to look for joy—even in the detours.
