Wheeled Migration is proud to announce a new tour in development.
The Life of Water tour is an exploration of cause and effect through the history, culture, and ecology surrounding a regions water. From the Sacramento to the Colorado, the Colombia or Klamath, Mississippi or the Mekong we are developing a living narrative to the watersheds that sustain millions.
Life of Water is the debut of our “rolling classroom” tours. Perfect for students and engaged citizens alike, this ride will lead us into a web of issues and a subtle world of beauty as we tour the cultural, biological, and economic systems that touch us all.
Follow the evolution of this tour on our blog and via Facebook. We will post videos, articles, essays, interviews, songs, poems- anything that frames Life of Water and contextualizes and brings attention to water issues in your part of the planet.
And don’t wait to get involved! Your input, referrals, connections and questions matter. We are co-creative, see something we’re missing? Help us get this right.

Great idea! It could be like the tour divide with more of an environmental message. Make it a race and you will get more media attention. It could draw lots of mtb’s and cyclecross riders form the bay area and from here(Redding). Get in touch with local shops and clubs. My neighbor works for the water board and is a cyclist.
