What is "Self Guided" touring? Many of us are very experienced with Guided touring but perhaps have only been curious about the flip side of riding a bicycle over beautiful landscape in wonderful new places. You may be suprised just how much support and benefit there can be by going the "Self Guided" way. I believe that this article will suprise many of you and make you think, "maybe this is for me after all!" Ed Hayduk, Owner, BicyclingWorld.com

A Very Special Article
I am very happy that Mr. Krolick has chosen to work with BicyclingWorld.com
on this feature article. And the pictures WOW! Is there any place on Earth
that can match the mountain biking offered by such a unique location as
Bhutan? Ok, I must admit that I did not know how to spell Bhutan. Mr.
Krolick and I discussed the article many months ago. But after you read the
article and experience the awe of the pictures, you too will never again forget
how to spell this small, but incredible, country’s name. Bhutan, the last
Himalayan Kingdom. Please enjoy this wonderfully crafted article by Clifford
Krolick.
If you are as moved by this work of writing as I was, please let Mr. Krolick
know by sending him a warm thank
you. I am sure he would love to hear from you.
Over the coming year we will be making significant improvements to the
Off-Road Segment on the site. We will be working with Mr. Krolick and
others to build a solid resource for you our dedicated Off-Road cyclists.
Let me know what you want BicyclingWorld.com to bring on the site to meet your
very specific needs and wants. Please come back and visit often to see
what is new and exciting for Mountain Biking on the site
Yours In Cycling Adventure,

Self-Guided Walking and Cycling Breaks in Europe
by LB Freedom Tours
|
October 14, 2007
|
A holiday can be many things – a passage of discovery through a new land, a romantic getaway in a tranquil setting, or simply an escape to the sun, blue skies and great outdoors. Unfortunately, such aspirations all too often materialize into tiresome undertakings requiring much research and organization before and during one’s trip, and before you know it you’re tense and irritated and no more relaxed than you were on a stressful day at work.

Why Women-Only Tours?
by Joeann Gutowski
|
October 11, 2007
|
There’s no need to further the discussion of the physical and physiological differences of the sexes, or their planets of origin when wondering “why women-only tours.” The answer is simple; many women enjoy traveling with other women. It provides a comfortable environment (body and mind) for an active travel vacation, and a great way to have fun.

Multi-sport Is a Mega Hit
by Backroads

September 09, 2007

Imagine a trip where you bike to Old Faithful, kayak across Yellowstone Lake, white-water raft on the Snake River and hike through a spring meadow. Think it sounds too good to be true? Not if you’re on a Backroads’ multi-sport trip in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks.

Training Tours - Hardcore or Smart Cycling?
by Steve Lehman
|
July 07, 2007
|
If you are like most people, a “Training Tour” conjures up thoughts of a hardcore cycling experience. Being a specialist in Training Tours and Camps, we at Steve Lehman Tours see things a bit differently. Training Camps are smart cycling vacations. Our Training Camps merely mean that the portion of our total vacation package that is dedicated to biking will be “more focused” in a number of different ways. The Camp will focus on the type of ride, time spent on the bike, and perhaps most importantly, recovery and relaxation. The rider’s improvement in the context of a well-balanced vacation is of paramount importance to us. Unlike the typical Inn-to-Inn cycling tour, the route to the next hotel does not dictate the distance and terrain of each day’s ride. We operate out of a central location selected, in part, for its proximity to varied terrain. That means if one day was a particularly tough, climbing day, the next day may be a flat, tempo affair. If it rains, and yes sometimes it does rain in Paradise, we won’t have to slog to the next hotel; we may take the day off or opt for a shorter circuit. I have found that due to our focus, Training Camps actually dedicate less time to riding and more time to non-cycling activities than most tours.

Cycling trips just for seniors … what a great idea! Travelers 50 to 55 and older are impacting recreation and travel offerings as they bring their interests and desires and purchasing power to the world of cycling. New companies are catering to these fit and adventuresome seniors. And older organizations are adding cycling to their list of tour offerings.
