Where we stand now

After a long debate weighing the pluses and minuses of running tours I came away with this. Plus, It's a lot of fun finding new places like the erector set observation tower at Mt. Davis to the old historic baths in Berkeley Springs and seeing old and new friends, lots of memories here. Minus, It consumes all of my time with little gain has become the biggest road block, It is a business for me and it needs to contribute to the household. It's becoming more and more difficult to run interesting and cost effective tours in Pennsylvania.

Tourism in PA is not being helped by gas drilling, poor road condition and rumble strips.  

I have built Pedal PA to a point where it can no longer be run as a one man show but expanding it has many drawbacks.  So the Southern Crossing is not being offered this year but I will continue to look at ways to make touring in PA work for me and my fans.

Thanks, Bill
