Since high school, I have been an active outdoorsman. I enjoy backpacking and cycling. The serenity of being out in the woods, or on the top of a mountain, is unparalleled, and the effort it takes to get there only makes it more rewarding. |

But in an urban, professional lifestyle, getting out in the woods (or the desert--I love the American Southwest) doesn't happen every day. After work, or on the weekends, getting on the bike is a great way to get the kinks out. It doesn't matter if it's quiet country roads, or trails through the forest— the rhythm of the pedals soothes the soul. |

I managed to combine my two favorite outdoor activities on a recent trip with Adam French. We cycled through the forests on the base of Mount Kenya for three days, then rode up to 10,000 feet. We left the bikes at base camp and walked up to the summit (Pt. Lenana - 16,300 ft), then turned around and bombed down the mountain! |
