About me
John Carlin
I ride mountain, road and gravel bikes in the rugged country surrounding my home in Roanoke, Va. Photography, video editing, writing, and social media are sources of enjoyment for me, so this blog is really a guilty pleasure. According to Strava (and most group rides!) I'm an intermediate cyclist. My bikes include a 1996 Waterford steel road bike. Off road, it's a Cannondale Trigger 3. My Gravel bike is a Fuji Jari. Like most of you, I'm always dreaming about the next bike to join the stable. So many bikes, so little time.
Please follow me on Strava.
