Here’s a link to my bicycling article in Adventure Cyclist magazine.

I’ll be adding this link to my Articles Page as well, but thought I’d put it up here for a start. I haven’t seen the actual magazine yet, but I’ve had a couple of emails from  American readers who have.

It’s such a thrill to get an email from someone who has liked an article…it’s not quite as big a thrill when they don’t…like the guy who didn’t like my Canoe & Kayak story about paddling in Florida and told me I should stay the heck in the Great Socialist North or did he call it Kanukastan?

Can’t recall, but I remember he was very angry and quite righteously miffed. Apparently my reference to Bubba got him excited.  It wasn’t worth explaining that it was my Florida guide who called the guy Bubba and I was merely repeating it. I did write and explain it was my intention to convey my love of the area, not to insult it. I still maintain that Suwanee river trip is one of my best trips to come out of this whole press trip/travel writing shtick.

And then there was this Hungarian trip with its Pork Focus. Man, I have never eaten so much pork over such a sustained period before, or since. It really was pork fat heaven. I love writing these stories for Adventure Cyclist because it’s a chance to write something longer than the usual shorty travel article.

I keep reminding myself that writing longer is a good thing as I struggle and wrestle with this semi-load of Jell-O I’m trying to nail to the wall…other people might call this writing a book. I know better. It’s a ton of Jell-O and it is not cooperating.
