| Name: James Brown | |
| Where at UNB: Residential Life & Conference Services | |
| Favourite Activity: road (or fine gravel path) cycling | |
| Motivation: to keep re-experiencing the beauty of New Brunswick's natural environment, while moving through it at an interesting speed enjoying either solitude or the company of like-minded people, while engaged in some fairly vigorous low impact recreation. | |
| Biggest Challenge: to make enough time for cycling among the competing pleasures of walking with my family (including Riley the wonder dog) or kayaking with my wife, Patty or just talking with friends and colleagues | |
| Proudest Moment: 5 hour century on second day Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour (Kingston to Ottawa) - now many years ago (1990?) and well beyond my current abilities | |
| Inspiration: Lance Armstrong - before I became convinced about the drugs | |
| Perfect Day: a lovely breakfast with my wife and family, a stroll into work along the bike path next to the river, a couple of hours of writing something which will make a difference, an afternoon bike ride to Mactaquac, an evening paddle on the St. John | |
| Favourite Healthy Food: most foods in moderation are healthy - PASTA! | |
| Guilty Indulgence: cookies | |
| Favourite Quote: "[Nothing] shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb, our cheerful faith that all which we behold is full of blessings..." Wordsworth | |
| Best Advice: beware of people offering advice | |
