"It's important to find the right balance between work and play, and to be a mentor to my children."

"My name is Chris, and I'm not just a husband, father and teacher, but I am also a world traveller who has lived in 6 countries and travelled to over 40. I think it's important to find the right balance between work and play, and to be a mentor to my children so that they know anything is achievable if they are willing to try and work for it.

As an athlete I have been riding bikes for as long as I can remember. About a decade ago I started to do triathlon, because it seemed like the right amount of challenge. After 7 years of amature triathlon and duathlon racing I moved on to gravel biking and endurance cycling - setting to fastest known time (FTK) records on bikepacking routes in Ontario and Quebec..

I started the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast in 2019 and have interviewed bike tourers from around the world to share my passion for bike touring and bike adventures. More recently I created the Bikepack Adventures website to share bikepacking routes throughout the region and ultimately, further afield."
