Pedal Bike Tours Blog

Congratulations to 77 year old Tom Hunter of Denver on being the oldest person to join us on a Pedal Bike tour!  Tom was joined by his wife Jo Ella, (she’s only 71) on our Historic Downtown tour.  This was after they had already walked several miles!  Tom and Jo Ella even braved a few raindrops at the beginning of our tour and ended up having a wonderful time.  Along the way they entertained with stories of out-skiing their teenaged grandkids.

After the tour we sent them to our favorite local microbrewery, Amnesia where hopefully they celebrated with a pint and a bratwurst!  The next day they came back to check in on us and told us about the several more miles they had walked.  I thought the fountain of youth was in Florida, not Colorado!   Jo Ella’s parting advice to me was “Don’t be afraid to get old.”  I won’t Jo Ella, not if I can stay as active as you two!

Who’s going to break the record next?  I know you’re out there!

According to the New York Daily News, the Willamette Valley is the third best wine destination in North America!  Which is kind of like first since Napa and Sonoma are incredibly more well known than little old Oregon.  Of course, that’s our ace in the hole, instead of stretch Hummers all over the roads and mansions of the rich and famous crowding the hillsides, the wineries of the Willamette valley are run by farmers who love grapes and wine lovers enjoying our lovely countryside and world class Pinot Noir.  Come take a wine country bike tour with us and discover the Willamette Valley!
