Adventure Cycling membership giveaway

[KerryIrons]

I'm a 30+ year member of and volunteer for Adventure Cycling Association, a national non-profit bicycle travel organization, and they have asked me to help spread the word about their mission which is "To inspire and empower people to travel by bicycle."

Adventure Cycling researches and creates cycling maps (including routes such as the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route and Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route), offers a variety of online bicycle touring resources, publishes a bicycle travel magazine called Adventure Cyclist, and runs guided tours. They also have been central in the development of the recently approved plans for a US Bicycle Route System.

They have offered 50 free 6-month trial memberships for me to disperse to members of Bikepacking.net who are not members. Benefits of membership include a subscription to Adventure Cyclist magazine, member discounts on Adventure Cycling cycling maps, and more. This offer for first-time members with a US mailing address.

If you are interested in learning more about Adventure Cycling's programs and their mission please visit: www.adventurecycling.org

The ACA generously offered many of us free memberships last year.  I just recently renewed my membership and I thank them for the free year.

I joined through this program last year and just recently renewed for two years.  It's been great reading the magazine but the maps are the best part for me.  Looking forward to many years of this relationship.

Will reiterate, but it would be nice if they could make the offer available to those in Europe too

[KerryIrons]

No outside of the US because the postage for the member packet and the magazines gets to be a big number and this is a free offer. Adventure Cycling is working on an "electronic membership" to deal with this issue but it is not in place yet. If you would be interested in receiving an electronic copy of our sample issue of Adventure Cyclist, please email memberships@adventurecycling.org and they will send you a link to a PDF for a full sample issue.

Thanks for the offer.  I took advantage of it and look forward to exploring the site and reading the magazine.

Got in on this last year when the freebie memberships were given out.   Recently sent in my renewal, and plan to every year for many years to come.

[KerryIrons]

Just to let everyone know there are still a few free memberships left.  I know that much of the US is still in the grips of winter but the trends are clear.  If you want to tap into the best bike touring resource organization, join up!

Just accepted the offer, will definitely renew in the fall.  Great organization.
