Adventure Cycling - Members??

[emily_in_nc]

I've been a member for several years now, and we used some of their maps for a 2004 loaded tour in upstate NY. It's a great organization, even if you never tour or buy the maps. The monthly magazines are inspiring (lots of tour stories/photos), and AC as an organization does advocacy work to keep cycling safer for us all. I am happy to give them some of my "nonprofit dollars" since they do things for us that we don't always have the time and inclination to do for ourselves. I think once you get your first issue of the mag, you'll agree!

I'm a member, and have been, off and on, for several years now. As Emily observed, the stories and photos in their magazine really are motivating, and I like the advocacy and outreach work the organization does. Also, they keep working to update their old maps and map out new cycling routes, like the wonderful new Underground Railroad Route, which I'd like to do part of one of these summers. The membership fee is money well-spent, for me at least.

Annie, I was wondering the same thing. Thanks to those who replied. I requested and received info from them last week. I thought the Underground Railroad route sounded interesting too!

Jeff & I are individual members, and Team Estrogen is a corporate sponsor of Adventure Cycling. It is a very worthy organization of which to be/become a member.

I've personally used AC's maps on several cycling adventures. They are generally excellent and have made my trips much less stressful by allowing me to know what to expect down the road. I also love reading the magazine when it comes, dreaming about the trips I'll take when I retire...

As newsletter editor I get a membership in the name of the club... but this year I'm going to send 'em my bucks anyway. They're a real cyclist's organization, as opposed to the "cyclists are a big enough market to get advertising dollars from" organization

I just became a member earlier this summer. Like Geonz said, they are a real cyclist organization and that appeals to me better than many of the others.

AND...they give away a custom bike every year! Only one a year, but hey, somebody's gotta win it, right?
