Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The story of "America’s Bicycle Route" started with Greg Siple, but it won’t end with his retirement.

On Sunday, friends and fans of the man who helped inspire the Bikecentennial cross-country adventure in 1976 and went on to open Adventure Cycling’s headquarters in Missoula https://www.adventurecycling.org/ will celebrate both his 71st birthday and his last day with the organization.

"Greg is one of the four founders of Adventure Cycling, and the only one still on staff after all these years," said Jim Sayer, Adventure Cycling’s executive director. "We wouldn’t be where we are today, and neither would bicycle travel, without Greg’s quiet, effective commitment to the mission of Adventure Cycling."

Siple credited his father Charles for his two biggest passions: bicycling and art.
