Tom is an experienced cyclist, trip organizer, and founder of Get Out & Go Tours LLC. With tens of thousands of hours in the saddle, Tom is an excellent resource to learn about cycling and sites across the Mid Atlantic region. Having ridden the C&O Canal and Great Allegheny Passage trails for more than 14 years, and residing in the area, Tom is an excellent source of information on the trails and area history. Tom rode his first multi-day tour in 1978, at age 15, rode his first 400 mile day in 1983, and criss-crossed the country in 1983 to 1985, including as a participant in the 1984 Race Across AMerica, during which he developed extensive planning and logistics skills. Trained in leadership and Project Management, Tom is the primary planner for Get Out & Go Tours.

Steve returns to Get Out & Go Tours for a third straight year, having participated as a tour participant in 2006, then as a support driver and on-trail guide in 2007. This year, Steve continues with his split-role, providing driving and logistical support for some of the tours, and on-trail participation in others. Steve has ridden the trail in both directions during execution of Get Out & Go Tours. His calm and patient approach to tour operations is the result of years of piloting aircraft around the world.
