Look Up Cameron County
2nd interview in our Adventure Biking Series! 🚴
Next up in our Adventure Biking Series is Cliff Clark.
Cliff is an avid cyclist in Cameron County. He has been biking since 1989.
For his graduation gift, he asked for a mountain bike so he could begin discovering the vast and endless routes in Cameron County. He would take off with his bike and a map and enjoy seeing the scenery around the area.
Cliff was involved in road racing for many years but now rides only recreationally.
Cliff has ridden over 115,000 miles in his 36 years in his cycling journey for an average of about 3,000 miles per year.
He enjoys morning rides before work which range from 10-20 miles and longer days of 30-60 miles on weekends or days off. He enjoys the mountains and nature all around Cameron County, as well as all the routes we have to offer.
Some great places he likes to ride are the Hicks and Dents Run area and Ridge Road.
His advice for someone who is interested in biking is to get started with a gravel or
mountain bike and ride on gravel or secondary paved roads.
Also, having the right equipment and correct bike fit is extremely important.
It is also helpful to find someone who has biking experience to go out and ride with you.
Keep an eye out for Cliff on the trails here in Emporium and greet him with a wave!
Stay tuned for our next interview!
