Adventure Cycling Across the United States


This weekend's edition of "On the Road with Lisa D." features an interview with Beth Nobles from Texas Mountain Trails in West Texas. In addition to talking about all the hiking there is to do in West Texas, Beth will also focus on how bike friendly hotels in West Texas have become as interest in cycling adventures grow. West Texas isn't known for much car traffic, which is just one of the reasons cycling is getting so popular in the region. (Click here to listen to Beth Nobles interview from March 26, 2011.)
