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! On the blog, jimirings asked,
"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.
And on the Facebook post, Chris Leach offer this piece of advice (?):
"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.
Chris and jimirings, drop me an email at jhmilyko AT adventurecycling DOT org so I can connect you with Friedel and Andrew to collect your free digital copy of their book.
Thanks for all the comments, questions, and tips from everyone! Be sure to go back and see what else your fellow cyclists had to offer.
