But, for those who still wonder, who would be crazy enough to go on a bike tour - we started to include customer interviews in our monthly newsletter. Below you'll see the archive of these interviews and stories and like us, as you read through you'll realize how very funny, interesting and exciting most people who travel really are. So, sit back click away and meet our customers through their own words. What motivates you to travel to far off places? 'I think the more we can learn about other cultures, the better we can ultimately understand and communicate with each other. My previous bike trips have been to France, Switzerland and Italy … and I found that the pace of seeing a “foreign” country on a bike to be just about perfect…. Provided you get good weather. When traveling by bike, you see things you might miss in a car or on the train. And you feel so much more connected to the people who live there.' The National Multiple Sclerosis Society MS 150 has over 100 cycle trips in almost every state in the Union. Learn more about the Colorado chapter and the new ExperiencePlus! Team. This month we interview Bob and Penny Fink, who have joined us on many trips. Thanks Bob and Penny! This month we interviewed Stacey Sondek, who recently traveled with us on the Pedaling the Andes from Argentina to Chile tour. Thanks Stacey! What’s your favorite ride or hike in your hometown?My favorite ride in our area is up and over Mt. Diablo. I see it rising up from a distance as I am riding toward it and I am always impressed that in a few moments (and many huffs and puffs later) I will be at the top. "We began touring on our tandem 22 years ago when our children were mostly grown up. These almost yearly tours, mainly in Europe, were our way of having a great vacation in a foreign country and meeting people of different cultures, getting some serious exercise, and being able to eat anything we wanted...all day! Being laden down with paniers was a challenge, but we enjoyed the freedom of being on our own." Bob Keller has kindly agreed to be interviewed about his life and travels this month. Thank you, Bob! Janice Brannon is interviewed about her life and travels. She says "I have had 70 years of great adventures in this life, and what I look forward to now is the pleasure of continuing to be physically fit enough to enjoy an ExperiencePlus bike trip every year for AT LEAST ten more years." "The best thing about it is I'm still moving faster than the years, so they haven't caught up with me yet." Children and teenagers can obviously gain an enormous amount of enjoyment, memories and life skills from travel. We interviewed one globe-trotting youngster, Casey John, about his remarkable experiences... Sally sent us some humorous photos of "Betsy Anne" on our Athens to Olympia bike tour. ExperiencePlus! customer Renita Breitenbucher wrote to us about this cross country bike ride to support Pancreatic Cancer Research. Her brothers are making this trip in memory of their mom. |
