Rider: HisMajesty Ways to connect: Location: Steinbach, Manitoba Club Affiliation: Mennonites In Tights Member Since: April 2012 5 Year Distance Chart 2013 km Traveled: 810 2013 Rank: # 2,108 of 3,848 riders (outdoor rides only) Lifetime Odometer: 145,287 km History: My first real ride (and bonk) was at age 22 from Banff to Johnson's Canyon and back. I learned the joy of climbing and descending, and the meaning of the term "suffer". So began the love affair. Now, over 140,000 km of roadway later, with much of that logged in the Alps, Vosges Mountains and Black Forest, the love for cycling remains as strong as ever. My goal: to keep cycling with my wife into old age and pass the passion on to the progeny. My longest 1 day ride was 240 km from Chateau D'Oex CH to Kandern Germany. My hardest ride was an 80 km loop over the Belchen in the Black Forest trying to stay with a friend who was riding in the German Bundesleague. My favourite tour was from Innsbruck to Lake Garda and Lake Como with my wife. Living on the prairies is strong motivation to travel as often as possible to any place with hills and twisties. Closest good riding to Steinbach is Otter Tail County, four hours south in Minnesota.
