Sitting here at my desk, working with the rest of the Routes & Mapping staff to finish the first map update of the year, my mind begins to wander just a bit. It is the first month of the new year, after all. I am dreaming about the bicycling adventures I could put on my plate for 2012.
- I could do a solo trip in Washington state, visiting friends like I did in 2006. (Or maybe I should enlist one of them to join me rather than simply host me...)
- I could take one of our guided trips. (I've been hearing great buzz about the Wine and Harvest tour in Northern California. Again, what friend might I entice to join me?)
- Or, my husband and I could finally do that Great Divide mountain-bike trip near Seeley Lake here in Montana that we talked about last year (we had to cancel at the last minute due to a family crisis).
What's on your bicycle-travel plate for 2012? Add your plans to the comments below or at our Facebook page, and I'll compose a summary of some the most interesting ones in a future blog post.
