Subaru/IMBA TCC Week 29

Subaru/IMBA TCC Week 29

If Virginia is for lovers, then the Twin Cities are for cyclists. We had a great week exploring the Greater Minneapolis area.

Just a little over two years ago we set off for New Zealand. We had nothing but two bikes, too much gear, a little money in savings, and each other. Twenty four months and 14 countries later we still find ourselves on the road. Our mode has changed (we drive a Subaru with bikes loaded on the top), but we’re still living the bicycle life. We feel lucky and blessed that the universe has us on this path.
