Meet Your Guides

Hi! We are Peg and Elise!

We are passionate about bike touring! Together we have ridden thousands of miles of bike tours in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Peg: I started touring in 1974 after reading about an epic bike tour (Alaska to Argentina) in the National Geographic magazine. Tracing a part of that route, my first tour was from Jasper, Alberta, CA to Cody, Wyoming USA including through Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. Immediately hooked, I have continued to tour whenever possible, in the US, Canada, Europe and most recently in Thailand.

Elise: Biking is my passion! I spent much of my early biking years cruising around Cleveland, Ohio on my Fuji Flair. I can’t remember a day I didn’t enjoy spending on two wheels. Although I have completed several bike tours in the US and Canada, I especially enjoyed RAGBRAI and Bike Across Kansas. While I love road and trail bike touring, I am excited to become more adept at gravel biking and bike packing.  

COVID unfortunately derailed the trans-America ride that we had planned to do together in 2020, so instead we have decided to share the joy of touring with others via this company. We both have experience in coaching and teaching but most importantly, we love to have fun!

Our mission is to share our knowledge and experience, and to build a community of confident female touring cyclists. If you want to learn how to tour or are just looking for fun women to ride with…Come ride with us!
