Bikes Wandering Travel proudly uses custom built titanium bikes for all our tours. Nine Cycle Inc. designs and builds all the bikes we use on our tours. Titanium Road Bike Custom-built titanium bikes are used on all our tours we offer different models for varied terrain. Weighing in at two pounds less than their predecessor, our updated road bikes feature a newly designed titanium frame that is lighter and more responsive than ever. Our bikes include triple chaining, an ergonomic saddle, tires suited to the terrain and an adjustable handlebar stem to dial in your ideal ride position. Flat pedals or toe cages with straps are available. You can also bring your own pedals. This bike is available with upright handlebars or with dropped handlebars. Titanium Mountain Bike We use titanium mountain bikes that are designed for more comfortable riding on trips where routes include some dirt and rougher paved roads. They are used on biking trips in Argentina, China and Thailand and on multisport trips in Costa Rica, Dolomites, Ecuador & Galápagos, Iceland, Peru and South Africa. Our alternate mountain bike with slick tires and rigid fork is used on biking trips in India and Myanmar, and on multisport trips in Panama.

  42. Custom Kid’s Bike Our custom kid’s bikes are a perfect choice for the younger set. While the wheels might be smaller, the performance is big. On all Wandering Travel tours, you’ll find 20″ and 24″ bicycles. Tandem Tandem bikes are suggested for riders with some tandem experience and on trips with flatter terrain. Due to the tandem’s size, frequent racking is not realistic, so there may be fewer opportunities to hop in the van. Parents experienced in riding a tandem may choose the tandem to ride with one of your kids. E-Bike eBikes lets you experience the thrill of exploring on two wheels while providing a boost when you want it. Our eBikes have an intuitive battery-operated “pedal assist system,” giving you power assistance when you want it. Although you still need to pedal, the system provides an additional boost of power to your pedal stroke. When you need to push a bit more on the hills, you get more assistance. When riding on the flats, the system can respond with less power, allowing you to ride your bike and enjoy your day. It’s completely silent so you won’t miss out on any of the sounds around you. Contact Us Now that you have a brief understanding of our tours it’s time to make a call. Contact our team of Travel Planners by calling 480-888- 8888. Tips to Prepare People get the most enjoyment out of their active adventure if they are reasonably fit. We suggest running, hiking, swimming or other aerobic activity for at least 20 minutes, three times a week, to help you

  43. get and stay in shape. For biking tours, the best training is to get out and ride, choose route with hills and flats. It is best to do several hours at a time on consecutive days. The key is to just ride and want to do it again the next day. Once you reserve a tour with us, we’ll send you specific training tips for that specific tour. ******************************************************** BIS 221T Week 2 Practice Creating Professional Letters For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com BIS 221T Week 2 Practice Creating Professional Letters This assignment has a total of 100 points.

However, in many instances, the template does not exactly fit the need, so that you will often have to make adjustments to the template as you will see during this exercise. You will also notice that the fields in the template are designed such that “field” characteristic disappears after it is edited and the text becomes normal text.? In other words, the fields are added to facilitate the initial entry of data, but then drop out of the picture so as not to be a distraction for later editing. The date field, is left as a field, however, so that it can be automatically updated. Task # Points Task Description 1 5 Notice that there are two fields called [Type the sender name] in the letter, one in the return address block at the top of the page and one in the signature line at the bottom. The template is built so that the one in the signature line captures the information that is typed in the address block. For this task, type your name in [Type the sender name] in the address block at the top of the page. Ensure that your name is reflected in the same field in the signature line. If it is not, type your name there also. (Note: The relationship between the two fields is temporary and is removed on the first entry. Hence, if you have experimented with the template, the connection between the two fields may have been removed.) 2 10 Add the QuickStove letter head image to the page header. 3 10 Add the text “Always ready in an Emergency!” without the quotes right aligned in the page footer.

Choose the format of MonthNamedd, yyyy.? This will insert a new date field in the desired format that can then be updated automatically. Use the dialog box to select the format, be sure that the “Update Automatically” check box is checked. (Note: To delete a field, you must press either the delete key or backspace key two times.? The first time deletes the content, the second deletes the field itself.) 7 9 Indent the first line of each paragraph to .5 on the ruler by placing the cursor in the paragraph, then moving the indent marker.
