My name is Oscar Wilmerding and I was born and raised in beautiful San Francisco. I am also a college student at Northeastern University in Boston (I’m studying mechanical engineering). I am most looking forward to the people we will meet while biking. Everyone on the road is so kind and it’s fun to talk with people you might not ever meet otherwise. For example, I will never forget a moment on a bike trip last year where I was talking to a potato farmer in the middle of Ohio who gave me water and dug up free potatoes for me from his front yard. In my free time, I like to make jewelry, run, and bike whenever I can. I picked up my passion for cycling at the beginning of the pandemic and always wanted to push myself to see how far I could go until I finally maxed out at 200 miles in one day. I am beyond excited to get on the road and bike with you guys and am looking forward to the treasured memories to come.
