WomanTours Featured in WSJ

WomanTours cross country cyclist, Holly Edwards, was featured in Saturday's issue (July 14, 2007) of the Wall Street Journal. In the retirement section of the daily paper, the article "Round and Round" discusses how the best way to see the world is often from atop a bicycle seat.

Holly has biked twice across the country with us -- in 1998 on our Southern Tier tour and this year on our Meandering Mississippi. Watch her short video with the Wall Street Journal here.

Eating on a Cross Country Tour

It may not look like the oven in your kitchen, but in those dutch ovens, Michelle is baking lasagna and homemade bread for our Mississippi cross country bike tour.




Along with Vicky's beautiful salad and freshly picked strawberries for dessert, we all had a wonderful meal!

Cross Country Mississippi Tour

Just back from the Meandering Mississippi tour. This 6-week cross country tour started in New Orleans and will end in a couple weeks in Minneapolis. I was lucky enough to join the group in Memphis and ride with them to St. Louis. It was wonderful to meet everyone - here are most of them in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a town we will never forget for their hospitality. We even made the newspaper that day.

Famous for a Day

WomanTours and I are famous for a day, or at least the morning. The local Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ran this article about me and the company today. My relatives, an old high school friend, and a fitness guru trying to get his mother interested in a tour have all contacted me. It's been fun!
