Greetings All,
In Ina Hibel's book " Into Remote Places" he claims to have married that ridin partner. It's hard to imagine the quite life suits him. Maybe Hilary Stone has an update from the last 12 years.

<< I once had the honor of visiting with, and going on a ride with Ian and his touring partner, in the Fresno County (Calif.) foot hills sometime around 1978. He and his partner were preparing to take their first ride across South America by way of the Amazon, before there was a highway. They had custom touring bicycles, and the most outstanding feature was the racks which were brazed to the frames. I remember the rear rack had about a 1" tube, which the rest of the rack was attached to, coming back horizontally, from the back of the seat tube. I believe there were places provided to attach spare tires to the sides of the forks too. I remember Ian's bike was blue, and not too fancy, but real durable looking. They put on a slide show and talked about Ian's previous tours, at one of the Fresno Cycling Club's meetings too. I haven't heard much about him since, except that they did complete the trans-Amazonian trip.
