DAN P. HUNGATE President
Dan grew up in Pullman, Washington, graduated from Stanford University and Harvard Law School, and practiced law in Seattle, Washington, until his retirement in 2000. As a college student, he cycled through Europe and then became a serious long-distance cyclist in the early 1990s, starting with the Seattle to Portland ride (STP). This was soon followed by his introduction to Adventure Cycling when he participated in Cycle Montana. Many trips followed, and immediately upon retirement he rode across the U.S. from Seattle to Washington, DC, with the American Lung Association. The word in Adventure Cycling Association’s mission statement that maintains his interest at a high level is “inspires,” followed closely by the “fun.” Many other admirable traits are associated with traveling by bicycle, but staying focused on those two words is the best objective he sees for maintaining the role of Adventure Cycling Association as America’s greatest cycling organization.

FRANK MORITZ Vice President
Adventure Cycling Life Member Frank Moritz first joined the organization 25 years ago, he said, “after reading an article in the Washington Post about a local family that had done a cross-country bike tour. It mentioned then-Bikecentennial as their source of information and inspiration.” Frank became a Life Member following his retirement in 1997. And what a career he had. During 25 years with the Central Intelligence Agency, Frank served as a technical writer, editor, and researcher, as well as holding managerial and senior staff positions. Since retiring, Frank, who now resides in Littleton, Colo., has been keeping very busy traveling, freelancing as a technical writer, taking graduate courses, teaching skiing at Copper Mountain, and leading bicycle tours for Adventure Cycling. His wife of more than 34 years, Pat, shares his love of the outdoors, and together they enjoy camping trips and touring on their tandem.

CAROL YORK Treasurer
Carol lives on the Lewis and Clark Bicycle Route in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. She is an elected Hood River County commissioner and serves on many regional boards and committees. Carol has degrees from St. Lawrence University and the University of Washington. She and her husband, Pete Fotheringham, own Gorge Publishing, Inc., where they publish the popular Gorge Guide® and other regional publications. Carol and Pete were married on windsurfers, and both have been North American champions. A former director of the U.S. Windsurfing Association, Carol is also an avid alpine and cross-country skier, and enjoys many outdoor sports such as hiking and sea kayaking. Other interests include travel, learning foreign languages, cooking, and eating. (She says, "The farther I ride, the more I can eat!"). Favorite cycling expeditions have been multiweek trips in Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Great Britain, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Eastern Europe, Northern Italy, and the Canadian Maritimes, plus many shorter trips in the Northwest. Future travel plans include hiking the Grand Canyon and bicycling in Southwest China.

ANNA GINN Secretary
Anna went on Cycle Montana in 1999 and has been hooked on our trips ever since. She recently moved to New York City to become vice-president for development at the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the largest supporter of grassroots organizations working in affordable housing and community development. Prior to her move, Anna lived in Maine, working in community development and as publisher of Maine Times, a statewide newsweekly. She received an MA from the University of Minnesota and BA from Mount Holyoke College. Anna hopes to connect to a community of cyclists in NYC.

ANDY BAUR
Andy Baur found Adventure Cycling in 1993 while planning a bike trip through central Europe. “I am really excited to serve the organization that essentially changed my life with hopes that others will find the same inspiration from bicycle travel that I did.” Working in bicycle and pedestrian facility planning provided the foundation for his current job as executive director of Prickly Pear Land Trust in Helena, Montana. Andy has learned the value of building partnerships and community support to address the challenges that face Western towns. His job also includes assisting local government to maintain and develop Helena’s superb 60-mile system of hiking and biking trails. Andy and his wife Betsy have toured in Europe and South America, “but our most memorable was right out our back door through central Montana.” Now, with a three-year-old daughter, they are getting quite familiar with rail trails in the area. The Baur family is a life member of Adventure Cycling.

JAN BRUNK
Jan grew up in national parks in the western United States. On her first bicycle adventure at age 15 (a "solo" tour of Yellowstone) park rangers kept an eye on her and reported her progress to the chief ranger, Jan's dad. Jan met her husband to be, Ron, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming; got married in Yellowstone; and promptly pedaled off on a bicycle honeymoon. In 1981 on a bicycle tour through Montana, they decided to make the state their new home. They opened Glacier Cyclery in Whitefish in 1982 and continue to greet and help adventure cyclists along their way. Jan still enjoys bicycle touring as stoker on the back of a tandem captained by her business partner/husband. Jan is a past president of the National Bicycle Dealers Association.

VAN DYE
Van joined Adventure Cycling's board of directors in 1993. He was born and raised in Cut Bank, Montana, and received his undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Montana. In 1971, Van graduated from the UM law school and was hired as deputy county attorney for Missoula County, a position that he held for three years before joining a large Missoula law firm in 1975. Eight years ago, he opened his own law office in Missoula. Van has ridden the Tour of the Swan River Valley, a 225-mile, two-day loop ride out of Missoula, eight times, and assisted with mechanical support several other years from astride his BMW motorcycle.

JENNIFER GARST
Jennifer Garst has been an Adventure Cycling fan since the early 1990s when she wandered the U.S. for over a year on a solo bicycle tour and shortly thereafter participated in Adventure Cycling’s North Star trip to Alaska. More recently, Jennifer relied on Adventure Cycling maps when she moved via bicycle from Washington, DC, to her home state of Iowa. “Adventure Cycling is wonderful. It has always provided me with the resources I need to feel safe as I travel by bicycle.” Jennifer, formerly an assistant professor of communications, is the Gift Planning Manager at Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa. She serves on several non-profit and for-profit boards. “I am sought after as a board member because I can raise money, read a financial sheet, and make sure that the organization remains mission-driven. These are skills that I hope to use as a board member of Adventure Cycling.”

JEFFREY MILLER
Jeff has been the executive director of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine since 1996. His cycling accomplishments include a 1990 tour across the United States. In 1992-1993, he was awarded a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to study and experience the bicycle infrastructure and policies in fifteen countries including Japan, China, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and much of Europe. That fourteen-month around-the-world bike tour served as a significant part of his education in bicycle advocacy, policy, and infrastructure design. In addition to using his bike year-round for transportation and obviously enjoying bike touring, Jeff loves to ride on his Maine-made Aegis and competes in road races and triathlons.
