Denise Purdue
After Denise biked the Southern Tier cross-country tour with us in 2006, we learned she could wield a mighty bike wrench, prepare a picnic lunch that rivaled Martha Stewart’s, and had a laugh that came easy. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable. A business owner and grandmother, Denise lives in Utah when she’s not on the road scouting a new tour or leading a current one. We think it's only appropriate that her granddaughter's name is Journey.
"Denise is always on her A game. Observed her strong leadership qualities, always helpful, knew her job and performed it in such a way that it was seamless. Denise was able to ensure the group dynamic formed both positively and quickly. Denise also found the time to ride with everyone who was on tour - nice touch. Would recommend a tour to anyone that she is leading."
