Trans America Tales


This week will be a fantastically exciting week in the Tours Department; as we reach the oddly thunderstormy summit of July, we have not just one, but both of our Trans America tours visiting our Missoula, Montana headquarters. Our rollicking self-contained tour will drop in for lunch on Friday, July 17, and we’ll host our supported tour (shown above topping out at Hoosier Pass!) on Monday, July 20. It’s an opportunity for us in the office to hear first-hand the extraordinary stories of life on the road.

I know that I’ll occasionally fall asleep dreaming of breezy summers spent pedaling through unsullied landscapes, this is the week I get to meet two groups of people actually doing it. A burger in exchange for anecdotes of double breakfasts, snoring tent partners, wildlife sightings, and everlasting friendship seems like a pretty fair trade to me…
