Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!

Bike X back to touring mode
With the road bike Bike R now in the stable, I put the touring tires back on the 2004 Bike X and went for a spin this morning. This bicycle has served me well as both a road bike and touring bike for many years, changing the tires as needed. The Bike X isn’t as fast without the road bike tires, but it’s way more comfortable with the Continental SpeedRIDE tires. Now I'll use the Bike R for road and the Bike X for gravel and touring. Great to have options!
