Early one afternoon we looked out our front window and saw the entire "tent area" of our RV park covered with small tents and each tent had a bicycle or two beside it. There was much hustle and bustle going on in the tiny "tent city" and as the day progressed, my curiosity got the best of me. Phil and I walked over to talk to them and discovered they were a group called "Adventure Cycling" out of Missoula, Mt (800.755.2453) and they were just beginning a major trip across the USA called the "Northern Tier 2005". They pulled into Malta early on this day because "... we've done our 40 miles today" (they had a brisk tail wind) and welcomed a chance for showers and rest. The tour leader, Bill gave me his card. Along with the pertinent information, it proclaims ... "The Road Called. We Ventured Forth." Well, the same goes for us but we're doing it the easy way in comparison. We salute you!
