Calling all tourists

[letsbike]

I really love getting my Cannondale out on the road and not returning home for a few days, or weeks, and I am sure there are other bike tourists on this site as well. I thought that a new thread was in order to showcase our Cannondale's doing what they were bred to do; explore the world as the ultimate recreation vehicle. I would like to see people post pictures of their Cannondales on tour to act as an inspiration to the rest of us, and maybe discuss some favorite destinations, or touring tips, or ways you outfit your Cannondale. Anyone looking to get started as a bicycle tourist could ask questions as well. Here's hoping that someone decides to post. (Fingers are crossed)

I don't tour myself but have been hosting tourists for years as a warmshowers member. I've hosted cyclists from numerous European countries, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia. I'd like to tour at some point but never seem to want to take time off from the farm in favorable weather.

I've stayed with well over fifty Warm Sbower hosts over the years. They are all very fine people. We've hosted a lot of interesting people too. When we lived on the Oregon coast people were primarily riding from the Artic Circle to the tip of South America. An epic ride for sure.
