Look Up Cameron County
☀️ 3rd member of our Adventure Biking Series!☀️
Our next cycling enthusiast is Jeff Weidow.
Jeff is a Bike Fitter and an Endurance Cycling Coach.
He has completed a 30 day unsupported trek across the United States, which entailed of completing about 100 miles per day. He started an organization called ‘Project Pedal’ back in 2018.
Project Pedal is an organization that focuses on mental health and well-being through cycling.
At Project Pedal, they have a clear and powerful mission: to ignite a passion for cycling outdoors while prioritizing mental health. Jeff travels all over learning new routes and trails.
In past years he competed in the Sinnemahone Bike Race and loved the area here and the people.
He shared with us the features that he feels makes Cameron County stand out compared to other places he has been. We have rolling hills, amazing scenery, great climbing routes, and remoteness. He talked about the camaraderie of the cycling community here in Cameron County and how it is a welcoming environment for all people. His advice to people new to cycling is to enjoy simple routes and to just get out there and away from everyday busy life without worrying about having the best gear or overthinking it all. Just ride.
He also invites anyone to join the Beyond The Dirt cycling event coming up on August 9th!
Cyclists from all over the US come to ride in this event.
This event is a ride or race format with day of registration is available. Check out their website www.beyondthedirt.com to learn more. Thank you Jeff for taking time to meet with us!
