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!

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?

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