Janech Davenport and the Wander Wheels organization finished a safe and successful ride in New Zealand. Janech has been evaluating the ACR500 for cross country touring. "There are a thousand things that shine about the bike. I like the acceleration and stability of the bike. I like the fact that it is a very quiet bike," said Janech. The Wander Wheels organization has already started a new tour in Florida traveling from Key West to Cocoa Beach. They will bike this trip two times over the next several weeks before starting the coast to coast (California to Georgia) tour in March. Since getting the AeroCat bike in November, Janech has logged over 1400 miles. "When I met Janech at Interbike, I asked her how many miles it takes to make an accurate assessment of a bike. She immediately answered with around 1,500. I thought to myself, this is the kind of person we want to evaluate our bike. It is the most extreme test," said Dave Poole. See pictures from the New Zealand trip in the photo gallery.

Janech, an ace bike mechanic, along with husband Bob Davenport, organizes and leads trips (including American Coast-to-Coast) for Wandering Wheels, a not-for-profit company.

We will be starting the Hilly at around 9AM on Saturday morning. It looks like it will be a little Boilermakers versus Hoosiers rival during the ride. We recruited two Purdue students and one IU student to join us on Aerocat bikes. Charity's an IU grad and I am a Purdue grad. So that's three Boilermakers versus two Hoosiers. But the Hoosiers have the home court advantage to even the stack. Look for the AeroCat team on Saturday (and Sunday)... Dave Poole

AeroCat will be participating at the Hilly Hundred on October 12-14 in scenic southern Indiana.
