I’m Jonny Altrogge and I’m a course director and safety manager for NYC Outward Bound schools. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I grew up with access to the outdoors, and have been doing outdoor recreation and sports my whole life. For the past 7 years I’ve led and directed outdoor expeditions, from 3 day backpacking to 30 day backcountry canoe expeditions for students of all backgrounds. My work in NYC is primarily with NYC public schools. This past summer I solo biked the great divide mountain bike route, a 2700 mile off road trail system stretching from Banff Canada to the Mexico and New Mexico border following the continental divide, through and over the rockies. I hope to race the route competitively in the future, and part of training for that this winter I’ll be training for my first half iron man
