Even my mom always says it’s not appropriate to spend a lot of time patting yourself on the back. However, I feel like this is a special case: I really want to share this fantastic testimonial from a recent C&O/G.A.P. tour participant. Not only did this fellow’s love of cycling grow, but he also gained an unforgettable community. Feedback like this makes me love my job:
“During the introductions [at the start of the ride], I was surprised to learn that many of the people had SO much more touring experience than me…I left that meeting impressed. As the trip progressed, I found my riding ability to be exactly what I expected. What I didn’t expect was the growing sense of community and camaraderie with the other riders. I experience true spiritual growth by looking outside of myself, and becoming a part of the group. I can’t wait to do it again!”
I’d really like to issue an enormous thank you to all the folks that make these transformative experiences possible. From the tour leaders to the mechanics, to the luggage truck drivers; your commitment to the Adventure Cycling mission continues to motivate and inspire.
