General Discussion / Hello, and a newbie question
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:05:28 pm »
Hi everybody,
Just joined ACA as I'm interested in getting back into touring after a layoff of 20 years or so. I've been hacking around on a mountain bike for the last 10 years or so but haven't toured since cassette Walkmans were a hot item. Right now I have a shiny new Cannondale T2 sitting in the shed, just waiting for the snow to clear.
I also have a sort of silly question, that I haven't seen answered anywhere else. I just received the ACA Tour brochure in the mail and spent a happy hour or so, browsing through it and daydreaming about the tours I'd like to take. I notice the support levels fall into three categories, self-contained, full support and van support. The first one is self-explanatory but...what's the difference between the other two? To me, they sound like the same thing. Can someone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance.
