Let Me Tell You A Story...

 If you want to hear the stories I tell, nothing bleeped out or “softened”, then make sure you sign up for my Newsletter. It is there that I will discuss literally just about anything without it being censored! At almost 60, I have a shitload of stories I can tell… For the most part though, I tells stories on cycling adventures and just about any other adventure I find myself involved in.

Head To My YouTube Channel...

Let Me Tell You A Story is a channel geared around cycling and the adventures of an old guy. Well, not that old, but old enough.

Welcome to our YouTube channel, where the spirit of cycling adventure knows no bounds. From the meticulous craft of Bike Hacking in a home garage, unraveling the mysteries of bike maintenance and customization, to the exhilarating freedom of Bikepacking, exploring untrodden paths with just a bike and gear, and the gritty thrill of Gravel Adventuring, tackling mixed terrains and sharing tales from the road less traveled. Our channel offers a blend of how-to guides, gear reviews, and captivating journey vlogs. Join us as we navigate through the challenges, joys, and unparalleled beauty of cycling in all its forms. Whether you’re a DIY mechanic, an adventure seeker, or a gravel path conqueror, you’ll find inspiration, tips, and a community of like-minded individuals here. I will also be getting back into Mountain Biking as well. I just won’t be as crazy as I used to be. Age and new hardware in the knee have both made me review my current risk… Yeah, that’s the safety guy talking! That asshole has taken over my life.

What My Friends Say About Me...

Gary is a genuinely cool person. I met him diving in Saint Michael, Barbados a few years back. He wasted a GoPro on that dive as we went a little deeper than it could handle! LMAO… He can tell you some really good stories.

Eu trabalhei com o Gary tanto no Brasil quanto em Singapura. No Rio, subimos até o Cristo Redentor e, depois de nos refrescarmos, descemos aquela montanha em tempo recorde. Foi intenso e admito que, às vezes, assustador. Ele é um cara bem legal e inteligente…

Gary is one of the worst drone pilots I’ve ever flown with. I have to admit though that he is very entertaining when shit goes south and he inevitably wrecks his drone. Now that he is trying his hand at storytelling, I’ve gotta pack the popcorn! This is something he’s actually good at.

Thanks to my friends from way back for taking the time to write a testimonial on our friendship with just a blip of a story. You guys rock and I can’t wait to hang with you all again down the road… And BTW, these guys are full of shit! Don’t let them fool you, I can be an asshole… LOL
