Dave,

This is awesome I can't wait to see you!! It has been a while. If possible I would like to bring some of my bikes and Fuso, road and track, my John Howard. I have contacted a friend that might know the owner.. I hope we can make this happen.

Hi Dave! It's beautiful for me that you could meet people during riding a bike. You can combine passion and socializing. I envy you so much!

shotgym,
Yes that would be neat except this is a Speaking Tour, not a Bike Riding Tour. I am pretty fit, but at 79 years old I am not about to attempt to ride my bike from Portland, Oregon to San Diego.
People have asked about short rides along the way, but it is too much hassle and expense to bring bikes on the airline, and although I have had offers to lend me a bike, I have to decline. I will be driving so many miles between stops there will be a limited amount of time.
If I take a bike ride these days, I need to stop for a piss every five miles and I need a nap after.

I sent an email to my local bike shop, and to a friend of mine who used to work in a shop, told them to contact you if they are interested in hosting. Another idea: how about a meetup at the San Diego Velodrome? If you make it (and it's not Sun or Mon night--regular commitments) I'll be there with bells on!
