We took a trip stateside
with Carolina
Tailwinds to South Carolina
on their 6 day Low Country
Tour that was mostly biking
with one day of kayaking
thrown in for good measure!
An interesting mix of Spanish
moss, beautiful beaches,
antebellum homes, historical
plantations and the everpresent
southern hospitality! After
the tour we spent a few
days in lovely Savannah,
GA.

We spent seven days cycling and barge
cruising in the picturesque Loire River Valley
region of France well known for its great
white wines, the most notable being Sancerre
and Pouilly Fume. Fitted with comfortable 21
speed hybrid bikes, we cycled along quiet back
roads, lightly traveled bike paths,
Come
along for the ride!

We had the adventure of a lifeteme
cycling on the beautiful island of Pico in the
Azores, a sub-tropical paradise with breath-taking
scenery, friendly people, a rich maritime tradition,
fresh seafood and great local wine. Of
course, cycling on a volcanic island presented
a few cycling challenges but it made the experience
that much richer.
Come
along with us as we explore the Azores!

This year we cycled from Bruges, Belgium
to Amsterdam in the Netherlands on a
bike barge tour with Cycletours, Holland. We
sailed on "De Zwaan", a luxury class
barge and had a great crew consisting of Capt.
Ilja , chef and first mate, Maarten and our
excellent tour guide, Jakob. We were also quite
lucky to have had such amiable cycling companions
for this trip. This made for a wonderful, relaxing
vacation. We booked this tour through Van Gogh
Tours. Click

Join us in sunny Portugal, where we
cycled down the coast from just south of Lisbon
to Lagos, enjoying incredible seafood, beautiful
weather, amazing coastlines and a great
group of fellow cyclists. Our excellent tour
guides, Goncalo and Nelson were the best, guiding
us safely down Portugal's Blue Coast! Our 'Costa
Azul' tour was provided by Easy
Rider Tours!

Mayo/Sligo
Ireland Bike Tour - 2001
This year, we made a visit to 'the auld sod"
with
Celtic
Trails Bike Tours. Ireland is ruggedly beautiful, with
more shades of green than you thought possible! This bike trip
was not for the faint of heart but was worth every minute. A
nightly stop in a local pub for a pint or two of Guinness
didn't stink either! |

Italy

people and incredible wining and dining. Italy- La Dolce
Vita! |
