Rapitour was started by Lon Haldeman and Susan Nortorangelo, both world record holding cross country cyclists. Rapitour was their first event ever. It was billed as the most challenging bike tour ever conceived. It was! They have continued to have bike tours, but never one like this...It turned out to be a unique event. I am proud to have been part of it. Of the 17 participants, only 4 made the journey without assistance. Rapitours is now called PAC-Tours.
