Links and Resources

I turn to the internet for information for all kinds of touring information. Listed below are some of my favorite resources.

Anne Mustoe - A Bike Ride is a good read. A 54 year old English woman and headmistress of a boarding school cycles the world - twice! She didn't even have a bike when she made her decision. Anne Mustoe has written many books that inspired me to begin touring.

Adventure Cycling is a bike advocacy site. It has one of the largest bike route networks in the world at over 40,000 miles. They provide valuable maps of the many routes they have designed throughout the US. The maps of the Pacific Coast route gave me the confidence to start my tour.
