Standing hills

heh heh, derailing the thread.

Yes, we are very outdoorsy...camp, hike, backpack, ski, climb, bike, whitewater. Usually he's boating when I'm biking!! But we do all our own vacations.. no tours, no guides. Just us and maybe a few friends. Why pay for some one to plan what you can easily do for yourself? Maybe we are jaded from my hubby's years as a river guide, setting up tents for paying customers...

There is so much great information out there.. guidebooks, maps, web sites.

There's only one mtb tour company that I would EVER consider going with
http://www.dreamride.com This is because I know one of the guides and know that the trips are very small and personal, and not cattle call rides. They have an great, very education web site. If anyone is considering a mountain bike tour, this company's site is wealth of information about what to look for in any tour.

do I sound biased? you can surf aorund my persoanl pages to see what kind of stuff we do
