Past Tours

In summer 2010, we rode around the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park for a week on a self-contained Adventure Cycling trip. It was super fun. We saw tons of elk, bison, deer, and moose. A bison is the size of a chest freezer on legs with a 1970’s era microwave oven for a head. Quite gigantic. Here are some highlights:

In summer 2007, we did the Des Moines ’ Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. RAGBRAI is the country’s largest, oldest, and longest bicycle touring event. This was our first bicycle tour. A tour company carried our gear for us, so we just had to ride 80 or so miles from town to town each day for seven days. Most of Iowa is populated with towns of 1,000 people or less, so it was neat for us to go through such small towns. The year we did it, Lance Armstrong also rode most of the route. (He signed up AFTER we did.) The Iowa Highway Patrol estimated there were 17,000 cyclists that year! Here are some highlights:
