New member, first post: At 62 I have just left the small solar business I started in 1997 and a long tour is my celebration. My target is to ride the new Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Route. After road-touring across Oregon, I expect to ride out of Boise around July 28 or 29. I am seeking companions to provide mutual support and safety on one or more of the singletrack sections. I am in good shape and not in a hurry. Last summer, I rode from Durango to Moab via the San Juan Huts system with my 15-year-old son, and my last long (3,700 mile) tour was in 1976.  Call Allan at 505 780-2738 or respond here. Thank you.
