um. Yes?
Are you calling me a poseur? I took three 3-day tours this past summer, and a week-long tour in october. Before i got back into bikes, i hiked the at from south-to-north, and did a lot of hiking/fishing in western newfoundland. Prior to all that, i spent seven years in europe, specifically germany, italy, and spain, in the usaf, protecting your sorry arse, and hiking the german and italian alps. I feel like i'm qualified to offer opinion on the subject matter. Perhaps you should take this cue to actually offer some intelligent input instead of trolling.
