Bicycle and Active Sports Vacations
Metal Cowboy Style!

Joe has teamed up with fellow Adventurer/Cyclist and entrepreneur Gary Hancq toRolling Roads Adventure Vacations provide a truly new experience in Cycling and Active Sport vacations! Our new concept is called Rolling Roads and we will cycle, paddle and hike some of the most beautiful and scenic places imaginable and throw in a couple of Metal Cowboy twists and tales along the way. We’ll even relive a little Metal Cowboy history on occasion.

Joe will join us for a day or more on many tours as we bike or paddle along, and on selected tours Joe will be your tour guide and chief madman entertainer. And Joe has a lot of friends, so you never know who else may show up just for kicks! Anything is possible on a Rolling Roads tour!

Proceeds from Rolling Roads Tours will be used to support Camp Creative, a Place based educational summer camp specializing in Arts and Outdoor Activities for Kids and Families.

Starting in late summer 2007 we will be offering bike and canoe tours in the continental United States, we'll be visiting California, South Dakota, Oregon, Washington, Missouri and Minnesota. We'll be expanding our North American offerings in 2008 and hope to offer international vacations in 2009. Click the image below to visit Rolling Roads now!
