ROAD BIKING

Raised in Texas, Utah, and around Asia, Claire caught the travel bug early and hasn't stopped. Her most recent trip was to Ireland, if she could go anywhere next it would be to Peru. Or Greenland.Or Botswana. Or India. Or, really, anywhere. Now she lives in Texas where she sadly cannot ski but can do yoga, read everything she can get her hands on, and try to learn new stuff like sewing (she's up to three receiving blankets and a skirt) and road biking. For the past four years she's worked with women with eating disorders and has a strong interest in women's health, body image, and gender studies. She continues to be a strong advocate for healthy body image and healthcare.

A tech savvy ski bum who has also traveled the world extensively lives and exercises in Vermont. Starting in the early '80's I skied almost every day for a decade in Stowe, and traveled the world for a year and a half. In the '90's I built a house and raised three great kids. In the Spring of '08 I lost 65 lbs by running & biking, and now I compete regularly in local bike and running events including triathlons.

I have a has deep rooted passion for two things; sunsets and shoreline, no doubt the result of living my entire life in the two states that have more coastline than any other; Alaska and Michigan. After graduating from Michigan State University with a journalism degree, I was soon headed to Juneau, Alaska as the outdoors and sports editor of the Juneau Empire. In 1980, I became the first Alaskan sportswriter to win a national award from Associated Press. More significant than the award or even receiving a letter of congratulations from Governor Jay Hammond, I discovered my passion for the mountains and wilderness travel while living in Alaska's capital city. Soon after that I spent a winter in New Zealand to backpack and write my first book, "Tramping in New Zealand". Six editions and 30 years later "Tramping in New Zealand" is the world's bestselling guidebook to backpacking in that country. That longevity is true with several of my books. "Isle Royale National Park: Foot Trails & Water Routes" that I wrote soon after returning to Michigan has been in publication in various editions for more than 25 years. Today I live in Clarkston, Michigan where I'm never more than an hour's drive from the shoreline of the Great Lakes. I am main contributor to www.MichiganTrailMaps.com, a resource web site devoted to trail users and the promotion of trails in my home state. I still head back to Alaska frequently to update my Lonely Planet guidebooks, only now I don't have to stay for the winter. In Michigan, I can usually be found out on the trail throughout the year, whether it is hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.

Wayne Reed's love of motorcycling began when his dad sat him on the seat of his 1969 Triumph. The short rides with his father were pure joy and delight. Good ole dad had no idea what he'd started. Wayne is a prior major airline pilot. Additionally, he is retired from the US Air Force where he enjoyed a long, adventurous career as a transport pilot. During his years in the military, he traveled throughout the world learning to appreciate and love people from all cultures and ethnicities. After retiring, Wayne soon realized the adventure and camaraderie he'd experienced while in the military was visibly absent from his new corporate life. Without the airplane to explore the world, Wayne turned to his second love-the motorcycle. He has traveled thousands of miles throughout North America and Mexico, always looking for great roads, beautiful scenery, great restaurants, and spectacular sun sets. Wayne loves sharing the joy and excitement of the open road with our valued customers. He will be leading most of the rides. His career as a pilot has made him a methodical planner and stickler for the smallest of details. Wayne will make sure your vacation becomes an adventure of a lifetime.
