My first taste of touring
 

My wife and I just finished our first short tour. 100 miles of Colorado and spring time camping. We met some great characters took our time to enjoy the sights and sounds. I found that from a bike your perspective is so much different then in a car, we loved every minute of it and can wait to do it again.

Thanks for letting me share!

Nice tatoos on your legs! :) That looks like a fun trip you had.

Looks like a fun trip! Great weather and beautiful scenery.

Nice glasses. :)

Nice photos!
How did you mount the water bottle? I looks like it's kind of clamps.

chuckle, I was thinking the same thing! (actually I was thinking they looked kinda dorky, but writing that isnt meant to be mean. Hey, you had a fun time, so good on you. Plus Im naturally kinda dorky)

... the glasses looked perfectly normal to me. ;)

Those are great pics and thanks for sharing them. It's obvious you both had a great time. I'm wondering which direction your trip went--clockwise or counter?

My good friend Paul and I started a little tour from Sedalia a couple years ago and headed up Rt. 67 to Deckers. What an "exciting" way to begin a tour! (It's a beastly climb.) From Deckers, however, we headed north toward Buffalo Creek and found ourselves in Montana a few weeks later!

So, what's next on your bike touring to-do list?

This Forum should have a warning lable:

Warning: Bike touring is addictive!

Good job, and nice photos.

Nice pics; what kind of bikes did you ride?

Great photos and on C&V bikes also. Very nice. Besides the Schwinn what's the other bike?

We set out from woodland park I tried to give my wife the down hill experience even though it was a hard clime from deckers to rampart road.

She was on a 80s Tekara Tribute. I did learn my lesson if we are going to keep this up smaller chain rings on the front might help, they're stock ten speed gearing.
