Bicycle Touring
Bicycle touring is a style of riding that allows you time to see your surroundings. It can be over short and local distances or a complete tour of the world. Your destination can be from Los Angeles to New York or London to South Africa. A long distance tour is essentially a series of short tours. I always try to have a goal in mind at the start of the day. It could be to use every portion of light that the day offers or ride for 3 hours that day and rest your bones at the river crossing. Your days ride could be to get to the outskirts of a city after getting supplies or to get to a harbor and start figuring out how to cross a body of water. Whatever the journey of the day is, it is an adventure with all it's challenges and adversity, it's triumphs and victories, the rewarding can of tuna fish and mango for dinner, and a feeling of fulfillment. At the end of the day no matter where you sleep, roof or canopy, clear or cloudy, there is a blanket of stars above you and worlds without end with endless possibilities before you. May your saddle be soft and your thirst be quenched. Happy riding!
