In 2006 ...
Most of our travels were with an automobile. We travelled from central Alberta to Boston, made it most of the way through the BMB (by bicycle), then drove back across the US to Le Claire, Iowa and rode another UMCA 24-hour. After that quite successful race, we drove back up to Alberta again. And, of course, along the way we stopped and cycled in as many US States as possible.
However, Rowan and I did do one very short cycling tour that year ... and it was magical ...
