Bob Robinson has been an avid cyclist for over 25 years. During this period he has raced both road and mountain bikes, organized races for both road and mountain bikes, built mountain bike trails, served as cycling club president, organized bicycle tours, and worked as a committee member for the National Trails Symposium. Bob strongly believes in actively supporting sports that he participates in.

Bob and his wife, Dawna, are avid backpackers. They recently fulfilled a goal of backpacking the Chilkoot Pass Trail, outside of Skagway, Alaska. They also have visited all of the 50 states in our beautiful country. The couple live in Fort Smith, Arkansas, within a short drive to the Ozark Mountains and the Ouachita Mountains. They are both active members of the Ozark Highlands Trail Association and the Friends of the Ouachita Trail organization.

Bob looks forward to meeting cyclists, and sharing stories with them around the campfire, during his future rides along the Mississippi River Trail, as he researches updates to the guidebook.
