David retired in 2010 from his work as a Systems Programmer for MS Windows environments. For historical purposes only, the resume of David Markun.
Current info on David can be found on RideWithGps and Facebook.David took up bicycle touring in earnest in 2017, after a pilot ride from Boston to DC in 2013. Tours of successively increasing length in 2017 through 2023 used lodging in motels, B&Bs, and homestays. Meals were in diners, restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, rural taverns, and friend and family homes. Routing was mostly on the human curated, elegantly mapped, and GPS-tracked cycling routes of the Adventure Cycling Association, of which David is now a life member. To get to places not routed to by ACA, routing from RideWithGps.com was used, with mixed results ranging from delightful to unexpectedly adventurous.

2019 and 2023 tours used almost identical routes. (Shown: 2019,

2018 round-trip to Michigan emboldened me to ride across USA next
time.
