In September I blogged about Free Web Resources for Traveling Cyclists, featuring a round up of some of the information and tools that we provide on our website at www.adventurecycling.org. This is quick follow-up post.In the last week, our Adventure Cyclist features page was updated with stories from the June and July/August issues. These archived PDFs are a great way to share your favorite story with friends and family who are already into bicycle touring and travel, or with those whom you want to inspire to hop in the saddle. Or, if you're not a member and have never seen the magazine, this is a great way to check it out (you can also request a free sample issue).
Next, in follow-up to all my silly hoopla over the Tour Divide, if you are passionate, or curious, about touring by mountain bike, you may want to check out these pieces from our How-To Department: How-To Mountain Bike Tour, The Top Ten Mountain Bike Tours in North America, and Aaron Teasdale's excellent primer on Ultralight Cycling.
For those of you looking for riding pals or places to ride, our Discussion Forums now boast Regional Discussion Areas (which include Canada and an International board), where cyclists can "meet, organize rides, and discuss cycling issues." These forums are open to Adventure Cycling members and to non-members (but you do need to create a simple log-in to participate).
More free online resources coming soon!
