My three tours with them have all been long ones, Southern Tier, Underground Railroad Route, and The Northwest Loop (this is not in their catalog this year because they rotate their second long trip each year) DO NOT pass up the NWL..I got back from this trip a month ago and it was fantastic.

They do the Southern Tier every year and one other long trip besides all their week long ones. Next year they will do the first half of the Northern Tier, and the following year, the second half. In 2012, they will do their Meandering Mississippi, so maybe they will put it the NWL again in 2013. It is a long way off but time flies and it was an awesome ride.

Patti is usually the Moab guide as she lives there and she is wonderful. She cooked for half of our Southern Tier ride in 2007 when one of our guides fell and broke her wrist. Our cook became our guide and Patti came in as the emergency cook. She was superb and cooked with Julia Child sometime in the past!

I have recommended WomanTours before on this forum and I can highly recommend them for quality tours, guides, and food (if you are on a long trip!) Save up, ladies, there is nothing like a women only ride! You will learn so much about bikes, tire changing, riding downhill and all in the presence of women who have the same fears and questions as you. They will help you, guide you, and give you tips and pointers without disdain. Women support you, hug you, and let you know that it is ok to worry about the downhills. They do, too! And then suddenly, you realize that it is not intimidating anymore. I went to the Southern Tier never having ridden more than 70 miles in a day and never having changed a tire myself. I did all that and more!

They have tons of week long trips to try them out! TRY IT, you will LOVE it.
