Monterey to Santa Cruz
2. How you found us
As "Bicycle Advocate" representative for Velo Club Monterey, I was contacted by "NBG".
3. Why you want to do this ride
I will do almost anything to nurture bicycling wherever and whenever I can. The concept is great. Skots participation and courage is inspiring.
4. Tell us about your touring experience- if little or none, indicate many miles have you ridden over the last year:
Have done a lot of centuries and six double centuries. I did the Davis Double with my son Tim this year. He is a California Highway Patrolman and we last id it together in 1986. It was a great reunion to do it with him again this year.

My main bike is an old Merlin, (small bottom bracket). My fun bike is a Kelly cyclo cross, (green from the tires through the frame and up the seat tube).
6. Describe your training regimen
I ride every day. I run some,(did the Big Sur Marathon in 2003)and I kayak on Monterey Bay several times a week.

I am retired law enforcement, (Sacramento PD for 31 years). I have been involved with Adventures By the Bay in Pacific Grove for 8 years and oversee the shop at Lovers Point. I am a licensed P.I. and do some work therein. I have the ability and desire to drop everything for a good bike ride.

 | Greenway design and construction firms that specialize in bicycle trails will emerge as the Greenway program unfolds. Since some parts of the Greenway will be tastefully designed in a linear, park-like setting, service crews will maintain the landscaping, signage, rest areas and information kiosks that will border these important arterials. |
