Article by; OvO tandems Richard Cresswell After a holiday in Brittany Richard came up with the idea to make a tandem recumbent ? I think he was fed up with waiting for me at the top of the hills. So the oVo was conceived. So now when we go away (2010 we did over 1,000 Km on one trip and in 2011 1685.5 Km) we arrive in the same place at the same time! He went back to basics for the design, steering away from a standard bike shape and replacing it with a sexy curve made from aluminium box section. It separates into two bags which means you can go on Euro star (?if you can get it through the X-ray machine mate we can get it on Euro star? quote from a porter at Euro star) and it does. In fact we went on 11/11 different trains this year through England, France, Holland and Belgium without refusal. The bags weigh 9.5Kg and 13.5Kg (less than the pannier bags did!)Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Cyclingchatcouk/~3/01Tm02PnQNQ/

As promised in last week's post, Book Review: Bike Touring Survival Guide, today I drew two winners from the comments and tips posted on both our blog and our Facebook page. In a coincidental turn of events, there was a winner from each site! "Do you have any experience with using e-readers on bike tours? I am planning a cross-country tour for next year (my first) and was considering buying one rather than trying to carry several books. My only concern is that I'll mostly be camping and was a bit worried about how and when I'd be able to charge it."Be sure to click back to the post to read Friedel's response to jimirings.
"Map corrections"? We don't need no stinking map corrections! Ride until there's no more road left!While I might disagree on the point -- since map corrections are part of our bread and butter -- it could be a suggestion worth considering to spice up your adventure.
GEOPOINTS BULLETIN is written by Jennifer 'Jenn' Milyko, an Adventure Cycling cartographer, and appears weekly, highlighting curious facts, figures and persons from Adventure Cycling's Route Network with tips and hints for personal route creation thrown in for good measure. She also wants to remind you that map corrections and comments are always welcome via the online Map Correction Form.

A standard -- but usually unseen and unsung -- piece of athletic gear in many sports is the common jock strap.
Although I doubt that any cyclists wrapped up in lycra and chamois these days would consider using one, the jock strap was created to support bicycle riders.
While visiting a museum on Orcas Island this past week, I stumbled across this antique box for a Jockey Strap Suspensory. It was in a collection of early 20th Century items found in a home's private dispensary.
Notice "The Bike" logo and the guy riding his bicycle ....

Don't let the title of this article fool you. This isn't about romance and marriage -- even though I just completed a six day mountain bike tour with my best friend and wedded partner of 23 years. 
My hubby and I started on a sunny Tuesday from the rustic little town of Ovando, MT. That first 20 miles was one of the prettiest of the trip -- with the Bob Marshall Wilderness guiding us on our left as we passed through aspen groves, and then climbed Huckleberry Pass. There's nothing like the reward of climbing a pass to find an epic down hill to your destination. 
Exiting Lincoln, MT, the next morning, I wondered how I had passed through this little town hundreds of times and never saw this gorgeous homestead (pictured above). 
Each day had its logistical challenges -- like forgetting to strap down the back of the Burley and losing a shoe somewhere along the trail. Oh well, he brought too many anyway! 
But the truly epic day on our trip was Helena to Basin; a portion of this section of the route uses Lava Mountain Trail #244. Here we were forced to push over a 7-mile trail that had been ravished by heavy snow run-off and ATV use (which is actually not allowed on this particular trail). 
As difficult as the push up was, the down was just as challenging, especially with the two-wheeled Burley and my loaded bike. 
And though I hated the head wind the next morning, I loved the little things that enriched the trip, like coming across Sullivan Gulch Trail Head as we headed into Butte, and stirring up hundreds of butterflies as we passed along the trail. And in the end, it was the the good things that count; the beauty and bliss of the mountains that I'll remember. It's the companionship of my husband and the taste of that huckleberry ice cream cone. Yeah, I'll remember that for a long, long time.

I always smile when I look at this photo. It was taken many years ago, but it feels like I snapped it yesterday.

A few members from the Adventure Cycling Tours Department recently struck out for a bikepacking weekend trip. We were on a low-key mission to test some gear and explore some of our local surroundings. We kept the adventure close to home and had extremely modest goals. Such an attitude, we found, can help ease the stress of a new adventure. I also find it's best to put the journey ahead of the destination when trying something new like this.

When I started my job at Adventure Cycling more than three years ago, I wanted a bike for touring, commuting, mountain biking, and cyclocross racing. I found all that in my 48 inch Surly Cross Check. My bike took me over 10,000 foot passes in Peru, through the Missoula Cyclocross series (last place every time, baby!), and to work and back all year long (with the help of some gnarly studded snow tires come winter). It really was the bike that could do it all!
But, as I began to learn more about cycling, I began to understand more about what I liked and wanted. I now have a designated racing bike that is lighter, and was gifted a touring bike with a triple crankset in the back that allows me to climb more easily. It's time for my Surly to venture onward, to the streets of Philadelphia, where it will deliver my sister to work each day and maybe start going on some East Coast tours as well. I'm even including a brand new Brooks saddle for her to break in. There's really nothing better than giving someone you love a bike that you love.
