Spotlight on Tour Leader: Larry Brock

I’d like to take time with this entry to highlight tour leader Larry Brock, an amazing fellow who also happens to be leading the upcoming C&O/G.A.P tour. This pie-loving leader’s love affair with bicycles began at age 7, when he was given a ride on the handlebars of a Huffy 3-speed and promptly broke his nose. Luckily, he’s recovered, and, this year, in addition to leading Adventure Cycling’s Blue Ridge Bliss tour and the C&O/G.A.P., he’s managed to sneak in time to answer a few questions.

Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream: The one I’m eating, obviously!

Touring Bike: I’m a big fan of Cannondales. I have a Cannondale Silkpath 300 with front suspension for trail riding bike trips, and a Cannondale Sport for road touring.

Dream Bicycle: I’m not picky about bikes. My dream bicycle is the one I’m on!

Favorite Quote: “What’s for dinner?!”

When Larry isn’t working on or leading Adventure Cycling Tours, he resides in Maryland with his wife, dotes on his grandsons, roots for the Steelers, and, of course, puts his discerning palate to the test by sampling pies as frequently as possible.
