One of the things I’m working on is a bike route that goes all the way across northern Missouri, all the way from Hannibal to St. Joseph. It’s about 260 miles and generally follows along Missouri Highway 36. You can read a press release here about this project.

Another thing that keeps me busy is writing about bikes. You can check out a site I maintain for about.com by following this link. Topics I’ve covered recently include the release of evidence documenting Lance Armstrong’s systematic cheating through the use of performance-enhancing drugs; how solar charger/battery packs can end the problem of dead batteries on long bike rides and how the former Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine  crashed his bike in NYC’s Central […]

I was happily surprised to see a nice plug for The Enemy Among Us from Charles Brennan in the most recent edition of Town & Style magazine. Charlie, who has been a mid-morning talk show host on KMOX-AM 1120 in St. Louis for over 20 years, has always been interested and incredibly supportive of my work.                              

Update – the program tonight at St. Louis County Library — Tesson Ferry Branch will start at 7 p.m.   An earlier calendar entry had the time incorrect.  Hope to see you there.

I am super excited to announce a just-booked program on Saturday October 6th at 3 p.m. on the campus of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. The event is sponsored by the (ICASI), which is based in Edwardsville. Though it’s a young organization (2 and 1/2 years old) they’ve already presented fantastic programs on the Italian language, brought Winter Opera to the Villa Marie Winery, presented a classic Italian Carnevale,  and produced a book of recipes […]
