My name is Brent Phillips, AKA Griswold, rider #1252. I've been riding since 2018, a close friend of mine had been bugging me to ride with him for the better part of 20 years but I was always too busy. My divorce in 2018 was the perfect excuse to pick up a new hobby. I fell in love instantly and never looked back.
Since then, I’ve completed 3 IBA
certified rides and ridden from KC to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Smokey Mountains,
The Grand Canyon and many points in between. I was given the nickname Griswold
after taking my new wife and our combined five children to the Sturgis rally in
23’.
The first of the three pictures is me pulling a trailer through the Tail of the Dragon. The second is My wife Gina AKA Sundance and I riding the Cherohala Skyway on our honeymoon and the third is me and a buddy at the Petrified Forrest National Park on our way to the Grand Canyon and Zion this past summer.
To say it’s been a wild ride would be an understatement! When I am asked about what riding has meant to me two words come to mind: Joy and Gratitude. The joy comes from the wind in my hair and not knowing where the next adventure will take me. From the different sights and sounds and smells experienced out on the open road. The gratitude is for the kind, generous and amazing people I have had the opportunity to interact with and get to know through travel and the love of two wheels. I will be raising money for the Dream Factory Of Greater Kansas City
Shiney side up my friends, see you out there!
