About

Hello, my name is Christian Richard. I’m a 23 year old personal trainer who's passionate for outdoor adventure, especially hiking, backcountry camping, and endurance sports. Originally from New Brunswick, Canada, in 2025, I’ll be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime: A solo cycling journey from my hometown all the way to Alaska and back.

 

My love for endurance sports began in October 2024 when I ran my first marathon. Inspired by that experience, I set my sights on a triathlon, which led me to buy my first bike. What started as a means to train for a triathlon quickly turned into a newfound passion for cycling. I fell in love with the sport, and before I knew it, my focus shifted from a triathlon to a much bigger goal: cycling across Canada.

 

While I’m still relatively new to cycling,having bought my bicycle from Facebook Marketplace less than a year ago, my experience in hiking, camping, and endurance sports has given me the determination to take on this ambitious challenge. This journey will be my opportunity to push my limits, explore the beauty of the outdoors, and embrace the unknown.

 

Through this trip, I aim to inspire others to prioritize their health, take on physical challenges, and live a life full of adventure. My goal is to show that it’s never too late to start something new, and that with perseverance, determination, and a willingness to learn, anything is possible.

Thank you for following my journey. I hope to encourage others to embrace the outdoors, stay active, and pursue their dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem.

 

Best,
Christian Richard
