He's participated in the Hotter'n Hell Hundred since the 1980s with this best friends.

Gil enjoyed cycling vacations to France for the 2004 Tour de France and the 100th edition of the Tour in 2013. During one of these trips, he made it up an iconic climb, Mt. Vontoux. Gil fondly recalls turning the corner just after the ski lodge and seeing the moonscape head!

In 2007, Gil conquered a cross country cycling tour from Los Angelos to Boston. The friendships he made during that event made it his best ride ever.

He currently rides a Trek Project One Edmonda SL. He loves this bike because it fits him like a good pair of shoes.
