Paul Krieg, RANS Retired Machinist Bicycle Tour

September 1, 2019

Introduction

This tour will not be my first rodeo in this arena.  Having done several short (300 to 400 mile) and one long (2400 mile) tours, I have a good idea what will work for me on the road.  As such, my bike is custom from the ground up.  Being 67 years old, my git-up-and-go has got-up and went and I am hoping this trip with provide me a reminder.  As such, e-assist was very appealing to me and is now integrated into my ride.  It is a Bafang 750 watt motor, with a true mid drive set up.

This will be a credit card tour, as I have camped out on most of my other tours.  Distances traveled will reflect motel location more than any interest in pedaling long distances.  I really do like a shower after spending several hours on the road.  Not having to set up or pack camping gear is a decided plus. 

If you would like to follow Paul’s tour, below is a link to his journal.
