“This fall I tackled my first solo bike tour, which I was very nervous about to begin with. Before I left I googled “solo female cycling” and found your blog – it was a great inspiration! Everything went great on my tour (Vancouver to San Diego), and although I did meet up with people along the way so it wasn’t totally solo I would totally set off on my own again. When I began the tour was thinking “Why do I do these things to myself?” but as always this tour reinforced that I do things like cycle tours because although in the moment the experience may be stressful, difficult, emotionally taxing, or difficult to fathom a way out of, in the end they make me stronger.” Mary Ann Young
