For me, the journey is almost as important as the destination. Movement.

Being on the go–the commotion of airports,

the sway of a train. It’s heady stuff.

Routes Bike Tours, Albuquerque

When I'm in an unfamiliar city, I really appreciate having a guide show me around. Especially on bike, and because I'm usually traveling with a child. Having that extra adult there who knows the lay of the land is wonderful. Our guide, Patrick, was as nice as a person...
