Aside from being the world’s best Mom, Rhona is a dedicated fitness guru and all around badass. She is a retired Phys Ed teacher and teaches many fitness classes at our local community center. Since retiring, her main focus was her senior program which has grown to 25 participants per class. On our bike trips she will hold a morning stretch to get the riders ready for the trail. Rhona is a trail expert on the GAP, Canal and other long trails in the region.

In 2016 I retired from the Frederick Police Department after 22 years of service. I had a wonderful career, saw and did some amazing things, and now it is over!

My retirement gift to reset my head was a 6-week, 1,800 mile, solo unsupported bicycle trip from Western MD to Key West FL. The trip included getting stuck in a hurricane in Miami and getting hit by a car in North Carolina. This trip changed my life. The world is a good place, filled with amazing kindness!!

Since then I have been working in an awesome bicycle shop, riding the GAP and Canal, …. And oh yeah, rode from Canada back down to Maryland.

Needless to say, I am a bit of a bicycle fanatic. I believe travelling by bicycle, for an hour, a day, a week or a month is magical and look forward to sharing this joy with others.
