Check out this ride!

Start Date:

   Leaves Santa Fe Sunday September 7, 2014

Distance:   Ride all or part of the Santa Fe Trail (approx. 1100 miles) on paved public roads only. After the first four days, riders can leave the group at any place along the route. They do not have to ride the entire distance.
     
Description:
These trips are non-profit, inexpensive camping trips with all gear carried by truck. All meals are provided by either schools, universities, catered, etc. No cooking is required in camps.

Cost:   $45 per day - includes breakfast & dinner, camp sites & showers, daily ride sheets & maps, and all gear carried by truck.

Purpose:   We have two objectives in organizing these non-profit trips: first, to provide a safe, fun, and inexpensive trip; second, to explore and learn about the Santa Fe Trail from Santa Fe, New Mexico to New Franklin, Missouri; learn its history and contribution to our country's western expansion; the challenges faced along the Trail; and the work currently being done to preserve historic sites along the Trail.

General Discussion / Recommend USA Tour company for Senior Citizen
« on: July 10, 2012, 06:27:17 am »
I am looking for a bike touring company that I can use next summer (2013) to ride across the USA.  I am 63 years old (crap next year I will be 64) and average about a 13mph pace on moderately hilly terrain.

Looking for recommendations for a bike tour company that has - if not similarly aged riders - can deal with a slow ride pace like this.   Hate to end up riding 3000 miles by myself chasing a bunch of fit kids.

Want a fully supported ride - with credit card lodging (hotels and luggage support).  My camping days are well over!!!

Any recommendations?
 How about some websites of similarly aged riders?

thanks
