Don Coffey, Edge Ingredients CTO crosses the US on 2 wheels!

EDGE Ingredients Chief Technology Officer treks across the USA. Follow his 9-week series "EDGE2EDGE"!

Most of us know what it is like to have something on our Bucket List, and Don Coffey Ph.D, our Chief Technology Officer, is in the process of checking off one item that has been on his list for many years.

Don has been planning every detail of his 3000+ mile bike ride across the United States, a.k.a. Adventure Cycling Association's "Southern Tier Ride" gearing up for terrains with elevations ranging from 0 ft to 8,200+ ft.

Don has been practicing for this ride by doing at least one century ride (100 miles) each year. When asked why, Don replied, "There's no better way to see the greatest country on earth!"

We'll be following his journey and invite you to follow along as Don experiences fascinating landscapes, diverse culinary cultures, and insights on food technology and ingredients while riding on two wheels from EDGE to EDGE!
