Many of you have met Scott G or have at least seen him attending the Expedite Expo. He is the REALLY tall guy who wears an an utilikilt. I was finally able to talk with Scott during MATS this year as well as on a conference call about how he is sharing his biking passion with other drivers.

Scott and his cohorts have created a web site that outlines bike trails all over the United States that are near truck stops or at least how to get a truck to the trails. Many of the trails can be used for walking as well.

Scott is a vegetarian and he likes farmers markets, these markets are pointed out on the various trails.

Scott will once again be attending the Expo along with his bike. Take the time to say Hi to Scott I think you will find him as interesting as I have. He plans on walking with us in the mornings and I am encouraging him to attend the BBQ.

Scott is fun to talk to and even though I am almost two feet shorter than he is I can still hear him in the distance.

I am sharing a picture of Scott folding himself onto the cots to give blood at the American Red Cross Blood Drive during MATS.

His site is fascinating and one I think everyone will enjoy:

He also has an active Facebook Page:

Grrrrrrreg, look on the site, it's not only Truck Stops, it's truck (as semi) accessible, and there's a place to submit new locations for him to post.
and BTW, you do know that you don't necessary have to go Commando in those ... :D

I was thinking the same thing! I believe Scott pulls a flatbed and most drivers park in truck stops so hence his map.

Greg why don't you volunteer to help him out and find out of the way places for him to mark on the map?

I am so SORRY you put that picture in my head of you biking around the truck stop in your utilikilt.... You are a cruel person and yep I am laughing...

I tried a few time to open the map but it isn't working over here and it isn't my computer but the provider (they admitted to the problem)

sorry about the image, you had to see me yesterday when I put my wifes $20 bike together and took it for a "test ride", no kilt but still flying down the hills around here at high speeds surely scared more than the cat riding with me.

I may do help out, just as you suggest. There is a nice riding trail off of I275 that is fun.

The map loaded up fine on my iPad. Maybe adding or linking to rails to trails would add a number of additional Locations and options, especially for smaller vehicles. Here's the link in case it doesn't get added to the other site.
