Every year people ask, “what kind of person leads your tours, anyway?” The answer—all kinds! Anyone who loves cycling and human interaction is pretty well set to make a great impact (a sense of direction, a knack for remembering names, and uncanny way with details doesn’t hurt either) and Tammy Schurr, illustrious leader of this year’s California Winter Warmer, Southern Arizona Road, and Texas Hill Country events, as well as the upcoming High Country Relaxed trip is all of the above. Here are a few things you might not know about Tammy.
Favorite flavor of ice cream? Vanilla! Because you can put anything on it that you want!
How did you find out about Adventure Cycling? I had been a backpacker, and I was originally interested in mountain biking and mountain bike touring. In 2001 a teacher-friend told me about Adventure Cycling Association, and I got intrigued with the idea of leading tours.
Pets? I have one dogs and two cats. Elmo is a fifteen year old black cat, and Quincy is a two-year-old Siamese. My terrier helps me do route research.
First bicycle owned? My older brother bought me my first bike when I was 4 and a half. It was a bright red department store bicycle, with silver fenders.
When Tammy isn’t leading tours she lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where she frequently drinks V8, and explores by bicycle.
