Hi! I never even knew you guys existed! How in the heck have I missed you all this time? Anyway, I am looking forward to joining in the conversations around here - hope you don't mind!
My name is Nancy and I love to tour on my bike! My husband and I recently returned to Idaho after a year on the road with our twin boys. It was a GREAT year and we all enjoyed it a lot. Now we are getting ready to take off again - this time we'll be riding from Alaska to Argentina starting in June. We can't wait to take off!!

Welcome to the boards, Nancy! We're excited that you've decided to join us. We'd love to hear more about your recent year long adventure (btw: WOW
). I'm entertaining the thought of doing some serious touring in the near future, and would love to hear about your trips.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm on my way to work right now (it's freezing cold, so I've got about 15 layers on!), but I'll answer any questions later. It was a fabulous trip and we all learned so much, I HIGHLY recommend taking a trip like that - wonderful on so many levels!!!

Welcome and Woo-hoo! What an awesome journey you have planned. I really enjoyed reading about your previous journeys on your website. Remind us again when you are getting ready to leave for your trip in June so that we can continue to read more about your adventures.

I know lots and lots of traveling families, but most of them travel by RV. Most of the ones I know are doing it to educate their children. What a fine way to do it!
I wish I had known you were coming through Arkansas! So few bike tourists come through Arkansas! If you ever get back to NW Arkansas, pm me!

Just to clarify...there's only a couple of token 'guys'...everyone else is a woman!

OK - criticism accepted. Can I use "guys" in the generic sense??
