Bikes of a feather

Sitting at lunch, overlooking the valley below we heard a hello and the sound of bikes pulling up. We turned to meet the first cycle-tourists of our ride.

Marion and Andi were just finishing up a Panamerican ride from Ushuaia, Argentina to Prudhoe Bay, AK. They had met up with a Quebecois who had not been to Anchorage so they were diverting about five hundred miles to take the long route up to Prudhoe. I guess at the end of 13,000 miles or so - why not?.

The evening prior, Joan and David, a retired couple not even riding bikes came right over to introduce themselves when they saw us pull in. They had ridden from Ushuaia to Prudhoe ten years ago. After talking with Joan that evening we found out they had ridden pretty much everywhere else too.

We have only seen one other couple who did not stop to show us their recumbant trikes. Perhaps they do not associate with wedgies.
