Is there a setting anywhere that would allow me to not see posts by certain users?

Thanks,

General Discussion / Mid-January US short tour ideas

« on: September 30, 2015, 11:54:43 am »

Hello Everyone,
My wife and I are looking for a few ideas for a 4-7 day tour this coming January. We're based near Portland, Oregon so the western US is our playground.

On or off-road, totally self-contained to credit card touring...it's all on the table.

This June, we returned from a year-long self-contained tour across western and eastern Europe, NZ, Tasmania and the southern Sierras and we're itching to get back out every chance we can.

Thanks for any suggestions...Enjoy the ride!

General Discussion / ACA Leadership Training course

« on: February 05, 2012, 02:02:27 pm »

Hello All,
Anyone been through the Leadership Training course recently? I'll be in the May class in Denver and would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. I've taken a 3 week mountaineering-based outdoor educator course from NOLS and led multiple backpacking and snow camping trip for a local college. I've also bike toured solo and with my wife in the US and internationally.

I'm expecting the course info to be delivered sometime in March so I'm just looking to hear from some of you that have previously been through the class.

Thanks,
Jay

Routes / Wales July 2012

My wife and I will be touring Wales for 2+ weeks prior to the Olympics next summer. We plan to criss-cross the country to cover as much as we can in that time. As long as we make it to Wembley for the football finals, we'll ride as much as we can.

Anyone interested in sharing their experiences touring Wales?

Thanks,
Jay

General Discussion / Independent fundraising tour 2010

« on: November 29, 2008, 02:58:47 pm »

Hello Everyone,
My wife and I are just starting to plan for a cross country tour in mid-2010. While riding, we'd like to also raise money for diabetes awareness and research. We have domestic and international touring experience. I even worked as a bike mechanic for nearly 5 years.

I'm a registered nurse working as a pediatric diabetes educator and my wife is a college professor with her doctorate in public health, preventive care. Other than working to partner with the ADA and JDRF, any suggestions on fundraising. Neither of us has done any fundraising in the past.

Thanks for any pointers or suggestions,
Jay
