Bike Tour Peru

In case you happened upon this page and want to know more about us:

Courtney and Chris make their home base in San Francisco, California. We co-created the event space the Caretakers where we host classes, events, and rehearsals. When in San Francisco, Courtney and her co-chef's run a small monthly restaurant at the Caretakers.

Before setting off
on this adventure, Courtney was a volunteer mechanic and accountant for 3 years at the Bike Kitchen in San Francisco (http://www.bikekitchen.org/).

Chris likes to play the fiddle and ride bikes. He is currently hauling his fiddle all over the Americas strapped to the back of his bicycle.

Chris and Courtney were core organizers of the 2008 Bike!Bike! in San Francisco: a Conference of Community Bicycle Projects across the nation and abroad (http://www.bikebike.org/). Chris organized fundraising events, designed the website, and administered registration; Courtney was in charge of all meals, fundraising and donations. The conference was a huge success.

Leading up to this bike tour, we have toured from Seattle to Portland, San Francisco to Point Reyes and Chicago to New York (http://blog.timesunion.com/bike/category/bloggers/andrew-lynn/). Each of these tours have taken very different forms and taught us a lot about bike touring and the areas in between destinations.
