DREAM RIDE: CYCLING IN MALLORCA.

Epic mountain rides, switchbacks and dramatic seascapes – Welcome to Mallorca, Spain.

If you’re considering an international cycling vacation to Mallorca, March is a good time to go. The roads are quiet, other than the occasional pro-team on a training ride, and daytime temps rise into the 60s. That being said – avoid the week before Easter, as it is a busy German holiday and the beginning of the high tourism season.

Be sure to have a car handy as it gives you access to epic mountain rides to the north with switchback turns and dramatic seascapes, or alternatively, to quiet farm country roads in the south that meander to old world fishing villages and brilliant white sandy beaches nestled in cavernous inlets carved into the rocky coastline. WARNING: Images below may evoke wanderlust, or an insatiable desire for travel.

Ask A Tour Leader: What Is Your Favorite Bike Tour?

Some things are better by bike – including beaches.

As a tour leader for Adventure Cycling Association, people often ask me what my favorite bike trip is. While that’s a bit like asking who my favorite child is, in this case the answer is easy – it’s our Introduction to Bicycle Touring out of Eugene, Oregon.

Bicycle travel is about discovering great places at a pace that allows you to enjoy them. This trip offers that, plus the chance to discover something about yourself. Participants have come to challenge themselves to learn new skills and push their limits while meeting new people. I can offer them all that, plus the chance to see one of the most beautiful areas this country has to offer. After two days learning the ins and outs of self-contained bicycle touring, we set off for the Oregon Coast.

First it’s up and over the Coast Range. The climbing through the forest is tough but is rewarded by stunning Pacific Ocean views. We camp on the beach and then ride south past Heceta Head lighthouse and the beginnings of the massive sand dunes along the south coast. We shop and eat seafood in Florence before turning inland again. Then it’s back over the mountains for our return to Eugene.

In four short days on the road, this trip has it all. Challenging climbs, sweeping descents bring stunning views. There’s the chance to camp on the beach and eat seafood at the coast. We top it all off with dinner at a small town restaurant with amazing pie. What could be better?

TERRY AROUND THE WORLD.

Meet Mary Bowker. She is 5 months and 4000 miles into an extended world bike tour, starting in her hometown of Bend, Oregon. Her next destination is Turkey to ride the Silk Road to China and she plans to do it all in our Terry Touring Shorts. If her pictures don’t give you wanderlust, we don’t know what will!

Mary’s third time crossing the Transvolcanic Belt in Mexico.

It’s all downhill to Tuxtepec in Oaxaca, Mexico!

A TWO-WHEELED TALE OF DC.

Exploring our nation’s Capitol by bike.

DC is, in my opinion, America’s best biking city; with great downtown lanes and Capitol Bike Share, all to take you on a self-guided tour of the monuments and other sites. It also links together a great variety of well maintained bike trails that take you into the suburbs and beyond into horse country.

The Mt. Vernon trail runs between the river and Memorial Parkway, right past Reagan National Airport (you can practically reach out and touch the airplanes at the gate from the trail skyway) and is a great ride into DC from National Harbor or Alexandria. The P Street Bridge which crosses over the river to the Jefferson Memorial connects with many great bike lanes that take you into the heart of DC. Ten minutes further north you can cross over the Key Bridge from Georgetown to the Lincoln Memorial.

Did I say spring was LATE this year? Good thing they plow and salt the commuter trails!

You can ride a century round trip on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail. I rode a half century out to Herndon, through Arlington, Falls Church, Vienna and Reston. The Capitol Crescent Trail is a really scenic route that takes you along the upper Potomac and into Bethesda and Chevy Chase. The Curtis Trail links from the Washington and Old Dominion Trail into Arlington.

With the convenience of intercity bike lanes and the option for some serious miles, DC has everything a two-wheeled traveler is looking for. Do you agree? What’s your favorite city to bike in?

Until next time,

Tailwinds!

Photoshoot – by bike.

Chicago's Bikeshare – we love it!

Just wrapped up our Fall Catalog photo session in Chicago and, while bikes have always been integral, for the first time ever we conducted a shoot via bike. Chicago’s pro-bike city planners made it possible with their new BIKESHARE program, an urban transportation alternative that’s popping up in the more progressive cities around the world. Bike stations throughout the metro area allow you to ride and drop at will, saving big on traffic, parking and the other nuisances of moving about a city. The bikes themselves are utilitarian with 3 speeds, baskets, locks and kickstands. Our entire team cruised about with equipment, clothing, props and huge smiles the entire day…quite a way to spend Bike to Work day.

Here’s a preview of some of the great stuff we photographed…
