Speaker: Rollie and Sue Ring-Jarvi, 40 years of Bike Touring 1982 - 2022 and beyond...
Will talk about biking in early 80's cross country and how it has changed for us with technology and age now in 2020's. Sue and Rolly did their first cross country bike ride for their honeymoon in 1982 in 55 days unsupported. Then, in 2006, they crossed in 35 days with van support.
In 2021 we E -biked about half way across country -San Diego, Ca. to Johnson City, Texas in 25 days and in 2022 completed the ride to St. Augustine, Florida in 20 days.
Besides these cross country trips we have biked the whole west coast, Lake Superior, Blue Ridge Parkway, Missouri Katy trail, Mesabi Bike trail, Europe for 3 months, Danube River and whole Mississippi River trail by Sue. Will provide some preparation tips for bike touring and comparisons. Will show pictures for 2021-22 trips.
