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.

Free Cross Country DVD

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!

What's a SAG stop?

There is no better way to describe a SAG stop than to show our very first one on our cross country Southern Tier tour. Here is our trusty Subaru, about 20 miles into our first day's ride, expertly manned by Kaye Whitney. It's a place to fill up on water and snacks, apply more sunscreen, ice a sore muscle, get news of the terrain ahead, or just share in the joy of the ride.
