Live Video Recording: Discussing The Katy Trail & More!
June 1, 2010 by Darren Alff
I just finished up another live streaming video broadcast. In case you missed it, here is the recording:
During the video I briefly discuss my recent adventures on the Katy Trail and talk about some of the books I’ve been reading. The books I mention in the video are as follows:
- Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide To The Art On Long-Term World Travel
- The Lost Cyclist
- The United States of Delirium: The Story Of The Race Across America
In other news, the Adventure Cycling Association is giving away 100 free memberships to Bicycle Touring Pro readers. As of this writing, the first 25+ memberships have already been claimed. If you live in the United States and you’d like to receive a free membership (a $40 USD value), just click here.
Finally, today is the last day to get “The Bicycle Traveler’s Blueprint” for 20% off it’s normal price. “The Bicycle Traveler’s Blueprint” is my eBook on modern bicycle touring.

Per the books that you recently read, I followed your advice from a previous post and just completed and thoroughly enjoyed David Lamb’s book, his mid-1990 trek across the U.S. It was much more readable than the plethora of stream-of-consciousness Web blogs. They each have their place. I am returning to your previous post to try another book in your list. Thank for the advice.

I would very much like to do the Katy Trail.. I’m 73 and do a lot of riding (BRAG,3 centuries a year).. Have mountain bike, hybrid and a road bike.. My problem is that I live in South Ga. and no body to ride with on these trips.. I’ve the time to do these rides.. Having done numerous trail rides solo is more fun when someone is alone..
