CURRENT MSSION
I am a 58 year old adventurer,from the Western New York area,who has been fortunate to have cycled through nineteen countries . The last several years I have been taking care of my elderly parents so traveling has been at a minimum. Sadly both have recently passed on,so it's time for me to get back out there and rolling again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was a cool,breezy early morning a few years ago and I'm bicycle touring on the south island of New Zealand. I'm riding on this narrow gorge road with unreal views of the river below,the traffic was pretty much non exsistent,and I just had this feeling that today was going to be special. All the sudden I look up and see this sign,bungy jump 500 meters ahead. Pulled in and had to check it out. Turns out that this is the bridge(Kawarau bridge)that the first ever bungy jump took place,so how could I resist,they straped me up and that is as close I have ever come to flying.
