Being an Adventure Cycling Ambassador

Here at Adventure Cycling, we are working daily to get more people to try out bicycle touring because we think it is an amazing thing to do. It challenges us physically, mentally and even emotionally. It can change our perspective on the world, our family, and our personal abilities. During the summer months, hundreds of traveling cyclists pass through the doors of our offices, wanting to get a glimpse of the history and to rest and eat some free ice cream.

For those of us working the daily grind, these visiting cyclists remind us of why we do what we do. They bring us back in touch with the magic of bike travel, the transformative power of self-propelled adventure.

We love to hear stories about these same cyclists going home and sharing their travels and stories from the road with their friends, families and communities. One of our favorite blogging bike travelers, Russ Roca, aka: the Epicurean Cyclist, is about to set out on a new adventure, which you can read about here. In anticipation of that, he and his partner in crime, Laura, recently gave a talk at a Long Beach book store entitled, "Let's Go Touring". They were able to share their passion for bike touring, along with resources for the road, including info about Adventure Cycling. This was just one of many presentations the pair plans to do as part of The Path Less Pedaled.

We just wanted to give a shout out to Russ and Laura for sharing their dream with so many folks. If you are interested in doing the same thing in your community, you can get in touch with our Ambassador program to learn more and to request materials. Together, we can get more people on the road to their next (or first) cycling adventure!
