Mike Botan / @Ride2ADV

Senior writer for ADVRider.com. Riding for more than 30 years both in the dirt and on the street. Have ridden on 4 continents and nearly 50 countries and still want to ride more.

I do ADVRider's new bike and gear tests and then publish my thoughts. Nice!

Posted a bunch of my ride reports in the Epic Rides forum of ADVRider and then started my own blog called Ride2ADV. Somehow, between there and my forum posts I ended up here. Am I lucky or what?

If it's really that important to you, you can check out my LinkedIn profile. My profile should now say, At least I'm having fun!
