Join us as we tour across the Historical Trails of America
Hello my friend and fellow cyclist,

For the last fifteen years Historical Trails Cycling has been organizing and leading tours on historic trails across America. A few things we have learned over the years is that, history is more fun when discovered from the seat of a bicycle, and that nature is more beautiful when coasting along and enjoying it with friends. What can be more captivating than sleeping under the stars in campsites once shared by Merewether Lewis, William Clark, and countless pioneers of the Oregon Trail. Here at HTC we strive to bring the past into the present with bike tours that reveal the history of our great nation. Our aim is to make your bicycle travel meaningful, enjoyable and affordable. We are so fortunate to live in a country so large and diverse, yet rich in history that is still so tangible.

I started Historical Trails Cycling (HTC) in 1992, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Oregon Trail, which was scheduled for celebration in the summer of 1993. We had so much fun on the 93 tour, that The Oregon Trail Bicycle Migration, was repeated again in 1994. In 1997 we relived history again, when the Oregon Trail riders shared the trail with the Mormon Trail cyclists, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Mormon Trail. HTC again traveled the O.T. in 2001 and again in 2004, and we have the O.T. planned for another tour in 2008. Don’t miss it!

After many miles of travel and years of research, in 2002 HTC was the first to lead tours along the Lewis and Clark Trail from St. Louis to Seaside, Oregon. HTC continued to tour the L&C Trail and celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2004, and the return tour in 2006.

During the past years, HTC has organized one and two day tours in Nebraska to bring organ donor awareness to the public’s attention. These short tours helped spread the message that sharing your wishes with your family is the most important step in saving a life as an organ donor.

Thank you for taking the time to find out about us, hopefully one day we will share the trail together.

Ride Safe.

Sincerely,
Tom Armstrong, Tour Director
