Fit Over 40

FIt over 40

Jon Benson author of Fit Over 40 and Life Coach will be my personal coach for the Pedal with Purpose Tour. He will be helping me to map a plan that will allow me to reach my personal goals in taking back my life. The great part is I get to help the fine musicians that were devastated by hurricane Katrina.  This will be an awesome adventure.

Greenspeed Trikes

The GTO travel trike is the culmination of years of experience refining the concept of the Greenspeed tricycle design. This trike is designed to meet the needs of most people.  The Greenspeed GTO is ideal for local riding or touring the world!  Greenspeed trikes are world renowned for their superior reliability and excellent handling qualities, and have been thoroughly tested in the Around Australia Tours through the Outback.

The Greenspeed GTO Touring Trike, is a light, but strong machine, suitable for touring, everyday commuting, and for taking away with you on overseas holidays.  High and upright enough for touring and low-slung enough to keep its excellent aerodynamics, for one trike that will do it all, look no further.

Greenspeed trikes are the flat-out winners when it comes to accessorizing. Those Sims boys down under have designed these trikes to easily accept headrests, mirrors, flags, fenders, racks, computers, lights and water bottle cages.

Greenspeed has provided the GTO trike for the Pedal with Purpose Tour. When you are looking for your next bike... and you want to like your bike...Go Trike. Greenspeed will become the Trike of choice of the discerning consumer. Plus they are just plain fun. I think the trike Grin originated on a Greenspeed. I know it did for me.

Arkel Panniers

Touring Series: Exploring the world is what it's all about. From our own backyards to the deepest regions of the Earth. Touring is about discovering what's out there, and what's inside us. This series is about moving around; around your city or around our pebble in the sky.  Check out their full line of panniers.

RT- 60 Pannier .  At last a truly recumbent-specific set of panniers. The horizontal design takes full advantage of the space available on a recumbent with a forward slant to cradle the shape of the back of the seat. These panniers are not as high as others since many recumbents use smaller size wheels - ground clearance will never be a problem. These panniers are definitively big enough for touring yet the removable pockets also mean that you can use them for everyday commuting without too much bulk. Check all the features of those panniers - it's a refreshing break for recumbent owners tired of settling for a compromise. Really neat!

Arkel has provided the RT-60 Panniers for our Tour. Please show them some love and check out all their products.

FutureMan

Futureman From Bela Fleck and the Flecktones has been a good friend for over 25 years. It has been a pleasure working with him on various projects throughout the years. The Pedal With Purpose Tour "06 is no different. To have his support in this project means a ton personally but also will help with the overall goal of raising funds for the High Sierra Foundation's Katrina Relief Fund. I have had the opportunity to work with Futch on his Circle of Harmony Project and this project is the first humanitarian outreach for the Circle. So, as you can see things really are related. Futch is hosting and performing in the Kickoff Fundraising Event for Pedal with Purpose Tour.

High Sierra Music Festival

High Sierra Music Festivals is the premier Music Festival In the US. The fine folks of HSMF are presenting their 16th annual Festival this year. It has been a pleasure to be affiliated with the fine folks at High Sierra.

They have provided an Oasis of Musical Support through the years.
