Beyond the project / Bound by Miles
The miles shape
the perspective.
Travel, endurance challenges, mountain landscapes and the experiences that keep us curious, capable and connected.
Endurance experience
A practical foundation built over years.
Mary’s results include the Badger 100 (2024), Run Woodstock 100K (2022) and 100-mile event (2025), with second-place age-group finishes at both Woodstock distances. Her three World’s Toughest Mudder appearances include one 50-mile performance and two years at approximately 30–40 miles. Together, Shannon and Mary bring long-distance participation, athlete support, expedition logistics and on-course operations experience.

Our story ↗Extended adventure travel
Eight motorcycle camping expeditions across 36 years.
More than recreational rides: multi-week journeys requiring camping logistics, equipment management, route planning and adaptability.
2015–2026
About 126 days on the road
Six later journeys lasted approximately 21 days each, typically involving motorcycle-carried supplies and tent camping.
Distance per recent trip
6,000–10,000 km
Estimated distance on each of the six later trips; approximately 36,000–60,000 km combined. Includes a 2021 cross-Canada trip to British Columbia with Mary and Shannon's father.
Trips primarily involved established or dispersed camping, with occasional hotels. Duration and mileage for the 1990 and 1994 trips remain unconfirmed.
