Great things are done when men and mountains meet; this is not done by jostling in the street. William Blake Las Cruces, New Mexico to El Paso, Texas. 65 miles. 1570 feet climbing. I have mixed feelings this morning. It's the last day of the tour and it's difficult to see it end; but I'm

People who spend most of their natural lives riding iron bicycles over the rocky roadsteads of this parish get their personalities mixed up with the personalities of their bicycles as a result of the interchanging of the atoms of each of them and you would be surprised at the number of people

Full many a glorious morning have I seen flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye, kissing with golden face the meadows green, gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy. William Shakespeare Springerville, Arizona to Silver City, New Mexico. 149 miles. 7600 feet climbing. The day starts

[obc] PAC 12

The easiest PAC Tour day I've ever ridden. The desolation that is northern New Mexico limits the possibilities (i.e. towns with motels and restaurants sufficient to accommodate a 60 person travelling group) when organizing appropriate stages for this border to border ride. Farmington is the

Tomorrow the bicycle races through the suburbs on summer evenings. But today the struggle… W.H Auden Durango,Colorado to Farmington, New Mexico. 55 miles. 1270 feet climbing. While the struggle definitely continues, it does so today at an easier level, the easiest PAC Tour day I've

Man can climb to the highest summits; but he cannot dwell there long. George Bernard Shaw Montrose, Colorado to Durango, Colorado. 112 miles. 9200 feet climbing. This was possibly the most anticipated day of the tour. I may change my mind when day 15 arrives, but the route card for day 11

They came to the Delectable mountains. John Bunyon Vernal, Utah to Grand Junction, Colorado. 146 miles. 5650 feet climbing. Finally, a warm morning. I can eat breakfast without shivering. We ride out of dinosaur country into a stiff headwind. The countryside is still rock and sagebrush.

In your shirt and your socks, crossing Salisbury Plain on a bicycle… William Gilbert Montpelier, Idaho to Evanston, Wyoming. 100 miles. 2300 feet climbing. It couldn't be a PAC Ridge Tour day without eating breakfast in the cold. This morning it's 34 degrees again. So on go the layers. I

Over all the mountain peaks there is quiet. Von Goethe Jackson, Wyoming to Montpelier, Idaho 117 miles. 3910 feet climbing. Reporting on how cold the mornings are is getting kind of repetitious, but this morning we started out in 34 degrees Fahrenheit. The valley around Jackson was

If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain. Well, my name's not Mohammed but after a long absence the mountains were definitely calling, and PAC Tour's Ridge of the Rockies ride started looking especially appealing. It's been three years since my last PAC

Re: [obc] Avid Family Cyclists

What kind of tours can families attend on the OBC? I'll leave it to the elected types to give you an official answer, but Carol and I and one or both of our two kids (current ages 5 and 9) have over the last eight years been to the Vermont weekend (tandem and one year old in the trailer), the
