Introduction to Cycle Touring, July 8

I just received this info about a fun event organized by Metro Vancouver Regional Parks

in Pitt Meadows, Tuesday July 8, 7 - 9 pm

Learn the ups and downs of cycle-touring from an experienced tourer in SE Asia, India and Cuba.

Enjoy a laid back ride in a gorgeous park, stop along the way to learn how to pack, change your tire on-the-fly and more about the beauty of two-wheeled travel.  Must be able to ride 7 to 10 kilometres of level, crushed gravel trails. PLEASE REGISTER FOR EXACT MEETING LOCATION.

Here is the location on Metro Vancouver's website (or just go to www.metrovancouver.org  then Regional Parks then events):

Or call to register Mon. – Fri. 8- 4 pm 604-432-6359

Vancouver to San Diego by bike - blog

Here is a link to a very interesting blog written by one of two women just starting off on a bike tour southward from Vancouver to San Diego. I believe the ride started, Monday June 4, so we can follow the "story" and ride from the beginning.
Enjoy...
