Ten years ago I started CrossRoads with a youthful enthusiasm and vigor for bicycle touring. My hope was to offer cycling experiences that would push us beyond self-imposed limits and fill us with a sense of accomplishment that comes only from completing a long distance tour.

Ten years later that youthful enthusiasm and vigor has led me to reintroduce our Eastern Seaboard Tour for Alumni and Friends!

I recently finished exploring the entire Eastern Seaboard route from Maine to Florida and I had an absolute BLAST! It seemed that every turn along the coast brought memories of alumni from our previous Eastern Seaboard tours.

During my trip south I saw the rocky coastline of Maine and white sands of Florida. I smelled the salty air of the Atlantic Ocean, felt the morning sea mist and heard seagulls flying overhead. I tasted lobster, clam rolls and fresh Atlantic salmon. I picked New Jersey apples and Georgia cotton and enjoyed fresh boiled peanuts in the Deep South. It was such a fantastic experience and I am really excited about sharing it with you and your friends!

This special tour is open to CR alumni and friends only and we want to be sure everyone is invited! Please help us by forwarding this message to your friends and CR cycling buddies as we do not have current email addresses for all of our alumni!

To register go to our Registration page and select "Alumni Ride" as your tour option.

I hope to see you in Maine next September! Now polish your bike and grab your helmet - we're going for a ride along America's Eastern Seaboard!
