Katie and Nate head off for bicycle adventures



Next week, Nate and I will be departing Cincinnati for a ten month Arabic and Hebrew program in Jaffa, Israel. We'll be taking bicycle tours of Israel, Jordan and Egypt during our vacation time. Once our ten month commitment is through, we'll be bicycling from Istanbul to Dublin. The route hasn't been finalized yet, but it looks like we'll be going through the following: Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Scotland, and Ireland. We might re-route or head into Russia and the Ukraine, but the tentative plans are shaping up to be interesting no matter what we decide on.
We will miss the wonderful, quirky people who frequent and work at Reser Bicycle Outfitters. Jason has graciously agreed to sponsor our touring with some of the best gear on the market. We cannot thank him enough--we will definitely be going through some chains and tubes. Please check back for weekly updates on the places we'll be riding and how our gear is holding up. Our blog will be up and running in the next few days as we wind down the process of getting ready to leave the country. Sunday will be our last day at the shop--stop by and say hello and goodbye! We have no idea what we'll be doing when we return, but we promise you'll all be the first to know.
All of our best,
Katie and Nate
