Who We Are

Ned is a lifelong cyclist, from commuting to work by bicycle while living in Washington DC and San Francisco, or training for Olympic and sprint distance triathlons over the years (the Santa Barbara, Donner Lake, and Niantic Bay (CT) are favorites), but it was a pre-35th U.S. Coast Guard Academy class reunion ride traversing Long Island over 4 days that got Ned hooked on bicycle touring. After co-leading on Senior Cycling's GAP and Cape Cod tours in 2022, he knew the chance to own and operate Senior Cycling was the chance of a lifetime. While serving in the NH State Legislature during the first half of the year, Ned relies on the awesome corps of experienced tour leaders you see below, but he relishes leading as many tours as possible from July through November!

Michael Robinson is one of our newest tour leaders. He has ridden on several tours with Senior Cycling as well as with Adventure Cycling and America by Bicycle.
Before cycling became a passion, Michael was and remains an avid hiker. He is an ADK 46er which means he has climbed the forty-six High Peaks in New York's Adirondack mountains. In addition, he has climbed New Hampshire's Presidential Range including Mt. Washington. During the summer, Michael fishes the St. Lawrence River in his kayak. He and his wife, Nancy, enjoy their cottage in the Thousand Islands with their children and grandchildren. In the winter they escape to their house in The Villages, Florida.

His experience includes 5 tours with Senior Cycling, as well as other companies including America by Bike, Adventure Cycling and Vermont Bicycle Tours.

A retired environmental, health and safety professional from the Rochester NY area, Nick now enjoys co-leading bicycle tours with Senior Cycling for the sheer enjoyment of being in the saddle, visiting interesting places and meeting great riders from all walks of life.

Alan grew up in the Midwest, and has finished a banking career in Chicago, Atlanta, Birmingham, and Washington DC. Now, rather than look at tour catalogs, he has joined our team to lead some of our tours. His three simple reasons for bike touring are getting great exercise, seeing new places at a speed that allows one to absorb the local flavor, and meeting a wide array of active bike enthusiasts. He lives in Colorado Springs, CO.
