It was a pleasure to work with my long-time client Fresh Air Productions on the 2023 Harley Owners Group™ Membership Guide. In addition to copy-editing the full guide, I wrote the ride descriptions for 10 epic Canadian rides – one for each province – as recommended by local riding experts in the regions.
