Ride Long Distances over Several Days
with Emphasis on Pleasure, Adventure, and Autonomy
with Emphasis on Pleasure, Adventure, and Autonomy
It's about discovering
new areas, seeing GREAT sunsets, sunrises, views or whatever, while out
on a sometimes lonely road and marveling about it.
It's about taking the time to get off the bike, just to look, to
explore, to take some photos, and to talk to strangers, on the side of
the road, at a roadside stand, in a grocery store, or in a local diner.
It's about telling them how much we enjoy spending time in their area.
Lots of times, we find people, even kids looking over our rigs. We chat with them and enlighten them about bicycle touring.
