A Day in the Life

Depending on circumstances, you'll crawl out of your sleeping bag or bed between 7:00 and 9:00 A.M. You'll help get breakfast and clean up the hostel, campsite, or hotel room, and pack your bike. The group will go over the route and arrange meeting places along the way for swimming, lunch, whatever.

Each person cycles at his or her own speed, with a leader bringing up the rear. Frequent stops are made for ice-cream, swimming, resting at the tops of hills, talking with local sheep, etc. The group regroups at or near the final destination to arrange for grocery shopping and dinner. The evening's activities can be planned ahead, or left open to the spontaneity of the moment. On planned trips your overnights will be spent in hostels which are cooperative, dormitory style accommodations, or state parks and local campgrounds; some trips are either all hostelling or all camping while many offer a mixture of both. A few trips will spend the night in college dorms, country inns, or farmhouses. On trips with phantom overnights, groups often stay in farmer's fields, back-yards, churches and firehouses as well as regular campgrounds.

The wind in your face, the sun on your back, the sense of accomplishment at the end of a long day--these are all part of the special feeling you have when riding. Cycling is much more than physical exercise. You'll become close friends with your bicycle as the two of you get to know a region the way no motorist can. People are pleased to see you taking the time and energy to explore the landscape and culture of their particular region.

Cycling also means traveling under your own steam, pollution-free, carrying your essentials with you every pedal of the way. Of course there will be days when the weather is less than perfect or times when bike repairs slow you down, but the experiences you have along the way make it all worthwhile. If this sounds enticing but you're not an Olympic champion, don't worry. We are a summer camp biking program offering a variety of trips for all ranges of cycling ability.
