Smiling Tourers—a photo thread
Here's to you, Ten Wheels.
We've all seen the "loaded bikes" thread. No faces to go with 'em. Feel free to post a pic of you and your ride. C'mon Ten Wheels.

Hey Ten Wheels, you're absolutely right. That shot of you and Deann is way cool. Nice bike(s) too. I'd keep an eye on your mechanic.

Fixing dinner in a teepee in Wyoming.
At the Burger Bar on the Virginia side of Bristol, Tennessee, enjoying some fine literature while on tour.
On the Pumpkin Patch Pedal Century, not touring but a nice century ride.

How can you not smile after climbing this little hill. It took a little over three and half hours for me. You start by the lake and climb three thousand feet
