Late season tourer

Kyle Stevens is the latest cross country tourer to roll by our Elmore shop. He stopped in on Wednesday November 7th on his way from Los Angeles to Maine!  So far he estimated he has somewhere around 5,000 miles though he said he's not keeping track. He has been on the road for ten months and will be braving a late fall and maybe even some snow in the coming month on his way to maine.

We get anywhere from 100-200 tourers a year stopping in our Elmore and Fremont stores and I suspect we miss just as many who ride by on off hours.

Some following the ACA (Adventure Cycling Association) routes including the North Tier or the new Underground Railroad, some just stumbling on the now 40 miles of continuous trail (part of the NCIT / North Coast Inland Trail) that runs right in front of our Elmore store. Most come through in the summer months, June to August but we do get our occasional fall and even late fall tourer.
