It is interesting for me – how do you camp in the wilderness and spend nights while touring many days … I feel best in my tent near river …

HOOOOOO ... it seems nobody practices camp in the wilderness ....

Thirty years ago my wife and I used to camp frequently in the the national forests and national parks in Colorado and Wyoming. A site close to a stream was always nice.

These days we make bike trips that last 1 to 2 weeks, but prefer to "camp" closer to the jacuzzi.

BTW, your web site looks very interesting. How is the bike tour business going?

…wellllll … really while touring sometime I also would like to be closer to jacuzzi, but stay away. The camp in the wilderness keeps me in a nice “wild” form.
I really love to deal with my Home site – it brings me a great pleasure, especially in these autumn days, when the summer has remained away behind me – in the moment I put several more pics in it. What about the tour business, I would say, most of all it is a game for me I love it so much, it helped me in the years to be together with my children summer time … it seems people toured with us liked it too, because more of them are coming one more time to tour together.
Down is one of the camp places (again near a small river) - it was 12 day bike tour I and my daughter Maya did August ‘10

The wife and I camped before having the kid. We are going to wait till he gets a little older before we attempt to get him out there.

My experience shows, that children are ready for a long tour when they are at least 14. It was the age I have begun to do it of first with my son, after with my daughter. Always when she has a free time, she still comes and tours with me … I believe, nothing better for the children …

Hopefully with a little luck I will be able to finally go camping myself with my bike. It's the main thing I am setting my old ride up for but for me will be a solo run only. Now with my girlfriend I am planning to get a motorcycle and go camping with her on that she's not so much a cycler like me. But that's ok.

I've been looking into constructing a touring bike. 14 you say Bob? I wanted to go before that!

Yeah that'd a dream of mine to I'd love to braze up my own frame someday but as of right now a pipe dream.


Hey Dean are you gonna build your own frame or buy one already done up?

Yes Dean …. A little earlier, why not (have in mind, we toured only in the wilderness away from the civilization) … I have begun with my son he was 13 – we began climbing 8 – 10 kilometers each week (we are not sportiest). After several months he understood what he has to do and I saw – he is ready for tour long time. Our first tour he was 14 included 1200 km for 12 days, first several days we bicycled 130 km daily. Almost the same was with my daughter – only the daily distance was 80 kilometers. Now my son does not bicycling, but daughter … always when it is possible …
