Routes / Denver, CO > Rapid City, SD

« on: July 04, 2017, 07:34:52 pm »

Has anybody toured from Denver, Colorado to Rapid City, South Dakota. It looks like a reasonable route at 400 miles total distance and takes you through the Mickelson Trail, which I have no idea what to expect (gravel/paved) from a quick Google Maps search. I'm planning to do this ride around August 20th week. Thanks in advance.

New England / Boston to Providence

I'm joining a group of friends on an unsupported bike tour from Boston area to Providence, RI over the Columbus Day holiday weekend. Does anybody have any suggestions where to find the best location or route to see fall foliage?  I'm from Los Angeles and have never experienced anything like this before so I'm excited to go.

Gear Talk / WoMo Designs Gadget Mounts

« on: September 24, 2014, 12:18:51 pm »

I was at Interbike last week and met the owners of WoMo design who makes gadget mounts for dual devices like for a Garmin and GoPro.  Have anybody purchased something like this for their touring use?  I'm going to get a sample unit for a review but was wondering if anyone else has experience.  Thanks.

General Discussion / National Bicycle Tourism Conference

« on: November 01, 2013, 02:01:09 am »

I'm just wondering if anybody will be attending the National Bicycling Tourism Conference (http://www.bicycletournetwork.org/conference/) next week.  I'll be traveling there by myself.  I actually don't know anybody but would like to meet new people if anybody is going.  I'm actually really excited about it!  I'm pretty much paying for this trip and taking time off of work to attend.  I should be in town on Tuesday afternoon if anybody would like to meet prior to the conference.  You can reach me through various social network outlets found on my blog, http://milestonerides.com or DM for a cell number!

Cheers,
Johnny

General Discussion / Day Jobs?

« on: October 09, 2013, 02:46:10 am »

Hello,

I would like to know what people do that allows them to take months after months to go on bicycle tours.  I can only imagine teaching would be a good occupation as teachers get 2-3 months off for summer breaks but are there other occupation you can get into that allows you maximum time to travel? 

I'm at a cross-road in my career and I'm looking for an alternate job opportunity which will allow me to go on frequent bicycle tours.

Thanks in advance for your response!
