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.

Topics Up For Discussion:

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 my 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. My channel offers a blend of my experiences, mental health issues, gear reviews, and captivating journey vlogs. Join me as I navigate through the challenges, joys, and unparalleled beauty of life in all its forms. Whether you’re a DIY hacker, an adventure seeker, or someone looking for answers, you might find inspiration, tips, and a community of like-minded individuals here. I will also be posting tons of content articles on all sorts of topics on the blog where I will more than likely use as video fod… I hope that I can help inspire you or just give you comfort knowing that someone else is struggling too. Don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. We will be drinking beer, and talking shit and whenever that happens, fun will follow.

Our posts capture the essence of riding beyond the pavement, where every turn brings a new challenge and every hill offers a unique view. We search out the best gravel routes, equipment tailored for rugged landscapes, and stories from the road less traveled. Whether you’re a seasoned gravel grinder or just starting, join us for tips, tales, and inspiration on embracing the wild side of cycling.

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
