Outside Over There

Sleeping outside is, in my opinion, one of life’s greatest pleasures (but I do know not everyone will agree!) The wind in the trees, the evening crickets, the rushing river nearby: all harmonize in the creation of the ultimate lullaby.

Camping really doesn’t require any special gear, besides a tent, sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad. During bicycle tours, it’s especially fun to relax in the evening inside your tent, reading, or writing. Group campsites offer an ideal atmosphere to get to know your neighbors (just find out ahead of time who snores!) Of course, most of Adventure Cycling's supported tours offer motel options, but if you’ve ever been interested in sleeping outdoors, I urge you to give it a try! You might just find you love the entire experience as much as I do.
