Elena on the Danube
Hello fellow adventurers! My name is Elena Bennett, and I am a member of the Tripsite team. I just had the wonderful opportunity to experience the Along the Danube – Four Country Tour and would love to share some photos and memories with you.
Kevin Purdy: Mosel River Bike Tour Through Time
A bike tour along the Mosel River offers an abundance of incredible scenery and some tough decisions. What would you like to experience on your next bike excursion? A 12th century castle or 13th century cathedral? Riesling wine or hefeweizen beer? Roman ruins or medieval villages?
Photo Friday: Anna’s Canada Adventure
The enthusiastic group before the 2,000m pass. My name is Anna, a member of the Tripsite team and an enthusiastic explorer. In July, I had an opportunity to bike the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Canmore, on the Jasper to Banff Bike Tour.
Missoula, Montana
I have returned home from a glorious sun filled week in Missoula, home to Tripsite Montana. I travelled to vist the team and family, and, to enjoy the cycling, of course! Left to right: Me, my daughters and co-workers, Anna, Jess, her husband Jonny, and my son Samuel.
More Than Travel: Looking back…and forward!
On March 26, right before leaving on a two week tour, I posted my first blog entry in More than Travel, and began with this quote:
More Than Travel: The Final Days
A fun group photo. I arrived in Frankfurt from Thessaloniki, Greece, and was in immediate culture shock. Stepping out of the train station after a short ride from the airport, I entered a cityscape of skyscrapers!
More Than Travel: Greece
I arrived in Greece last Wednesday, crossing the border from Bulgaria, leaving lingering winter to enter emerging spring. It is now Monday, our last cycling day. It was also the first day of rain. Helios, Greek God of the Sun, has been pleased with us! We are a group of five.
More Than Travel: Eyes Wide Open
I arrived in the rain to Bulgaria's capital of Sofia and to be honest, drab was my first impression but not just because of the dreary overcast. The skyline I saw as we skirted the city was of a Soviet influenced gray and I thought of stereotypical communist austerity and uniformity.
A postcard from Myanmar - Hennie’s last update from Asia.
It's not often you get one of these in the mail. Looks like this postcard made its way to San Francisco in about 3 1/2 weeks. Thanks, Mom!
Update from Hennie in Hong Kong
When I arrived in Hong Kong on Monday, all I wanted was to go home. But I had only one day in Hong Kong. I have never been one that enjoyed figuring things out in a big city and definitely not a subway system. It is not that complicated but it is just not my thing.
Update from Hennie in Bagan
I am in Bagan. It is amazing. This morning we went for a short bike ride to visit the various pagodas and temples. They are massive structures all built with red brick and some with steeples covered with gold leaves, many dating from the 11th century.
Popa Mountain
The ride to and up Popa mountain wasn't very eventful except that it was a very tough climb. Only 4 of us took the challenge. I had fun, felt really strong, and feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment. The Popa mountain resort in which we stayed was spectacular.
