I loved reading about your trip. I also enjoyed getting to know y’all on the Ride the Rim trip. I have enjoyed getting back into bike riding since that trip. If y’all plan another trip and are interested in including a Carolina girl please let me know.

2 years agoAbsolutely! Ice cream is high on our list of priorities. But we do have a rule that we can only have ice cream if we have bikes that day…..
2 years agoWe costed out bringing our own bikes, renting bikes and purchasing used bikes. The used bikes were the least expensive option. We had also heard stories of peoples expensive bikes being stolen in Amsterdam so that was another thing that led us to purchase the used bikes. It worked well for us.
2 years agoThanks! We enjoyed doing the blog and not only can it be useful to others but our family and friends could follow along with us, and after the trip it serves as a journal to look back at our trip. I highly recommend it.
2 years agoWe all thought we would have gained weight will all the wonderful food but I guess we did enough biking that we only put on a couple of pounds. We sure did indulge!
2 years agoThe bikes came with panniers but the ones we got were very well used so some of us purchased panniers in amsterdam. I’m so glad you are finding the blog helpful!
2 years agoDid you buy your panniers when you purchased the bikes?
2 years agoLove the food pictures! I'm gaining weight just looking at them.
2 years agoYou really should get a commission from these vendors because I plan to use them. Great, great blog.
2 years agoWhat a great tip about buying a used bike in Amsterdam. It never occurred to me to do that instead of bringing my own bike.
2 years agoGlad you found the blog helpful. Great suggestion on adding name of hotels, Inns etc. I’m sure that would be useful for self supported touring.
2 years agoI love that you ladies always make time for ice cream.
2 years agoGreat advice! I'm glad I came across your blog. You guys have done the 2 trips I'm planning in the future (Empire and Europe) so it's nice to see what's ahead. Along with the beautiful pictures, can you add some more info on the trails and lodgings next time? Thank you!!!!

Glad you enjoyed the blog. The White Rim trip was quite an adventure. It was a great group to ride with. Happy to hear you’ve been riding regularly. Right now we’re just riding locally. Hopefully soon will plan our next adventure.
