Why No Touring Topic??

[shootingstar]

Hope you do the Cape, f8. We did an easy short ride in Cape Cod when we there. Later included trip over to Nantucket island on bike.. where I promptly misplaced my wallet and ID on the ferry... needless to say that was memorable. (got my wallet back intact, 2 months later sent back to Canada). Thank god, my passport was somewhere else on me.

Would you be going in early/mid Sept.?

As an aside: I did send an email to the webmaster for TE with touring separate section suggestion (perhaps just broadening the Adventure stories section with a renaming? ). Also emailed link to this whole thread.

Yes, we would be going in mid September with the Lung Association's Autumn Escape Bike Trek. Are you familiar with it?

The reason I got the recumbent is so that I could tour. I've done one good week-long tour (solo - credit card) and a supported tour (RAGBRAI). I'm planning a Katy Trail trip with DH this year, and a Mickelson Trail trip before my brother moves away from the general area.

DH & I are also planning a overnighter to a nearby town this summer, just to get away.

And of course, there is the Vancouver-to-Key West epic in the planning stages. . .

As for lights, um, don't ask me, I HATE my setup.

F8, that is a nice tour. September is the absolutely best month to be on the Cape. No traffic and less tourists. I'd love to meet you, if you will be around on a weekend (Friday-Sunday).
Where will you be staying?

Oh, so you know of it? Great! September in New England always sounds like a great time. The ride is Friday-Sunday. Chances are we will arrive up there on Thursday and stay with my husband's brother and his family in Sudbury before driving to the starting point on Friday. We haven't officially signed up yet but I am like 95% sure that we are going. Would you be able to sneak to one of our stopping points Friday-Sunday? I have no idea how far you are from there and I don't quite know the logistics yet so any info you have is very welcome.

Well, I think you got your wish - isn't there a touring topic now?

[Crankin]

F8, I don't have any information about the tour, but I live in the town next to Sudbury... depending on what time you get here, that might be an option. I have a class until 6:30 and then have to take the train home, so something later Thursday night would be good.
Keep me posted. I can tell you lots about the places you will be staying.
