Hi there, fellow bike tourers!
We are currently finalizing our packing list for our 4 week bike trip to Utah, USA starting Sept 4, 2010. After checking, cleaning and assembling our trusted Patria touring bikes (just to take them apart for the flight to the US a couple days later...), we went to get the rest of the stuff. Water purifier drops, tire patches, desert boots (now how do you like THIS, rattlesnakes?), dry bags...
Just to give you guys an idea of what's planned for this year's "long" trip (4 weeks sounds kinda short now). Our flight will take us to Flagstaff, AZ. We'll get a rental minivan (I knooooow, that's cheating) and drive up north to hike the Grand Canyon. From there we'll drive (again...) to Cedar City, UT and get rid of the van - switching to our bikes for the next 1,000 km. Sights on the way should include Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Capitol Reef NP, Arches and Canyonlands NP (and some other amazing stuff on the way). We'll take at least a day off in every park to go for long hikes (I'm already sore just by thinking of it) and try out my new Nikon D90. So excited! If these will not turn out to be the best pictures ever I'll be pretty pissed :-)
So. 2 weeks to go. Getting a bit nervous now - which is so awesome. We'll let you know how everything worked out. Check back for pictures in Sept / Oct.
Happy trails,
Pascal and Rebecca |

 Long journey?
"Adventure is rarely determined by the destination you choose, but by the method of travel and the route you take to get there" - Willie Weir, Adventure Cyclist magazine
We have found bike touring as our preferred method of travel and would like to share some of our impressions as well as touring information on the countries we have cycled to. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the ride.
