The Continental Divide Mountain-Biking Trip

If you have been following my web page, you
already know that during the summer of 1998 I
completed a road bike trip from Seattle,
Washington to Washington, DC, raising money for
The Overseas Development Network and The
AmeriCares Foundation. On that trip, when I was in
Missoula, Montana, I learned about a new mountain
bike trail that follows the Continental Divide from
Canada to Mexico. The more I thought about  a
mountain bike adventure, the more intrigued I
became. So, when I reached Washington, DC, I
told my parents that during the summer of 1999 I
wanted to cycle "The Continental Divide Mountain
Bike Trail" and raise money for another important
cause - Parkinson's Disease research! So, click
away and learn more about this 2,500-mile
mountain-biking adventure. Find out about my
personal connection to Parkinson's Disease and
how you can help. Learn more about my sponsors:
Bell Sports, which is sponsoring me with helmets for
the second year in a row; Yakima which is providing
a state-of-the-art roof-rack system that will
transport my mountain bike to Montana on top of
my Ford Explorer and finally BOB (Beast of Burden)
which is providing a Yak Trailer to transport my gear
on this self-contained cycling trip. Look up other
mountain biking equipment by visiting my
"Equipment" page, and don't forget, keep on
pedaling!
