Mike has a passion for charity cycling and has raised thousands for organizations like Be the Match and Bike the US for MS. In the summer of 2016, he rode his bike from Virginia to California and since then has always gravitated towards opportunities to ride a bike long enough for everything to hurt. While recovering, he spends most of his time with his partner Adri and their handsome old hound Duke trying new restaurants, going on walks, and watching movies.
