{} I want to go on an across-the-country or some other very long tour this summer. (who? me? run away from reality?) I want to find an organized club or group that would make this the kind of trip I want: more about meeting people and seeing places than riding 100 mile days. Anyone out there have suggestions from experience about such a group? I am aware of AYH (their Metro New York council) but want to have an alternative. I would appreciate mail, or a response if you wish, and Thank You. Vladimir Lanin {allegra, ihnp4}!cmcl2!csd2!lanin
