Adventure Cycling free membership offer
I'm a 30+ year member of and volunteer for Adventure Cycling Association, a national non-profit bicycle travel organization, and they have asked me to help spread the word about their mission which is "To inspire, empower, and connect people to travel by bicycle."Adventure Cycling researches and publishes cycling maps (including the TransAmerica Trail, Pacific Coast Route, Route 66, Lewis & Clark, Underground Railroad, Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and many more), offers a variety of online bicycle touring resources, publishes a bicycle travel magazine called Adventure Cyclist, and runs guided tours. They also have been central in the development of the US Bicycle Route System. They have offered free trial memberships for me to disperse. Benefits of membership include a subscription to Adventure Cyclist magazine, member discounts on Adventure Cycling maps, and more. This offer is for first-time members with a US mailing address.If you are interested in learning more about Adventure Cycling's programs and their mission please visit: www.adventurecycling.orgTo take advantage of this offer you can sign-up online at:

Work PT at the end of the Trans Am /Lewis and Clark routes , Shop was a member* , but may have let it go.
A friend wrote a piece for them, so another way to get a membership is write something they put in print.
* so have a collection of back issues if any one wants to pay the postage costs..

Signed up! It's been too long since I've read a quality cycling magazine; I'll report back after a thorough reading.

Well, I got my first issue! I will admit I was a bit disappointed that 90% of the magazine was advertisements; I wasn't expecting a product catalog, I was hoping more for blog type format, reading material on adventures and destinations, build suggestions, culture.. not product selections! I did see a new top tube bag I may order, but nonetheless I hope the next issue doesn't repeat this trend..

Received my envelope today, i browsed thru it real quick and asdumed it was all a sales catalogue. Will pull it from my shred bin look thru it again.
Was expecting articlesand format similar to thier 2011 magazines that are in pdf form. Did not like the fact they will rent or sell your info unless you go online or have it requested not to do so.

How do you opt out of having your info sold? I am most interested in the route maps that are available through ADV cycling. How do you get the maps and how good are they?

To opt out contact them directly, or go to your online account.
Noticed my membership will expire beginning of the new year.
Would love new articles in a regular magazine format but its a free membership. Let see if they change my mind when it comes to renew.
