Member At Large - Bill O'Connell
I have been a WCC member for more than 20 years. A board member for many of those years.
Occupationally, I am an Optometrist who's practice is limited to Vision Rehabilitation of the partially sighted. As more of us begin to suffer from macular degeneration and glaucoma, I am the guy who will keep you reading.
I am also a dealer for Rudy Project cycling glasses, and give WCC members significant discounts that cannot be found elsewhere. My wife complains that I don't make any money doing it, but I love to talk bikes, so I'll keep it up.
I love to plan rides in areas away from home that offer less crowded roads , beautiful and different scenery, and cultural or other variations not found in our home turf.
My vacations are frequently with VBT or Backroads in far away places, but in the Northeaast, where things are more familiar, I like to plan trips on my own.
My cycling style is very laid back, Post a "Training RIde" if you do NOT want to see me. While I realize that every ride is in it's own way, "training" I no longer have the desire to become faster and stonger. As with many of us, my rides, as I age, have tended to become slower.
Due to my roots on motorized two wheel sports, I started with a Dirt Bike in 1972 and tried my hand at motocross (boring!) and enduros
(enduros are cross country events where you try to maintain a given speed on a course desighed by sadists for masochists).
Ultimately I mostly did rides on NETRA trails in New England which were beautiful and sceniic.
When I dropped the motor, I became a Mountain Biker, which unfortunatley became a label for extreme versions of the sport by half crazed 20 somethings. I really considered myself a "bicycle trail rider".
That is why I love Gravel Rides, The gravel roads in the northeast offer the scenery and experience that most closely epitimizes what I enjoy.
However I increasingly find myself seeking a motor again for the hills on those rides. AN e-bike is in my future.
