Riding The Tour in	California
Riding out of	San Diego, CA
Motivation for joining The Tour	We can raise awareness that everyone can exercise and lead a healthy life. And, I want to see CA on a bike and push myself to complete an incredible journey.
Reasons for adopting an active lifestyle	It started way back when I was in high school and suffered from asthma. I was a skinny guy that did not take exercise too seriously. I found a sport, Ultimate Frisbee, in college and that started me on the path of staying in shape. I’ve seen friends and family go through health issues related to not living an active life and I don’t want to be like them. When I am 60, 70, even 80, I still want to be able to do the things that I enjoy doing now.
Why a healthy lifestyle is important	I've seen my parents' and long-time friends' health degenerate as they have gotten older. A sedentary lifestyle will cause this. We are living longer and leading more active lives and in order to enjoy the golden years, you have to take care of yourself by exercising, eating, and living a healthy lifestyle. Once you start down the slippery slope of being in-active, it is hard to get back on the horse.
One piece of advice to help others live a healthier life	Get off the couch and spend 30 minutes a day being active!
