Wanting to do a short summer tour by bike

I've been following Ryan VanDuzer on his Web site and twitter feed for the last week or so. Ryan is treking across the country on his 3 speed New Belgium Brewery cruiser bike. He started last week in Oceanside, CA.

A last minute change in his route brought him to Tucson. Originally he planned on going north through Flagstaff, but the hills were more scary than the heat. I met Ryan this afternoon at a coffee shop and hung out with him for a while. He is a really laid back guy who loves riding his bike. He doesn't even own a car.

His ride got me thinking about touring. It seems like such a fun way to travel. You must see more that way. My goal for this summer is to get a few poeple together to do a short trip somewhere in Southern Arizona. Ultimately, I'd like to ride somewhere in one day, camp a night or two and then head back home. Any takers?

In any event, good luck Ryan. It was a pleasure meeting you.
