Good cycling, good weather and good food. An excellent trip, well run and well worth doing.
There were many good moments rather than one particular, from seeing another welcome stop for drinks and very tasty nibbles, the amazing old sites, the elephants and the way the kilometres rolled by.
Unflappable, well organised and able to handle the varied demands of a large group without a fuss,
Take your own saddle or a gel saddle cover as there are a lot of miles covered if you are not used to it.
lovely trip in a lovely country
completing the big climb
Peter was good
Insect repelant
Excellent trip. Well-paced, great routes, wonderful scenery and delicious food!!!
Loved the long ride and climb to the top of Sri Lanka. A challenging but rewarding day.
Well-organised and friendly. Good leader who was willing to cater for all abilities within the group, providing challenge for those wanting it, and leaving others to their own riding preference. Peter was always happy to talk about the country and its culture, which he is clearly passionate about. Peter mixed well with all members of the group.
Be fit enough to enjoy the mileage and ascents!!!!!
Beautiful way to travel thorough this amazing country. Amazing diversity of people and places and great to get off the beaten track.
Finally getting to the top of the hardest climb I've ever done aminst beautiful tea plantations and sunset.
Pleasant but limited English. Was unaware of my dietry requirements (gluten free because of coeliacs disease) despite Exodus being informed months ahead of schedule and checking again before departure. Didn't have enough English to understand this. Very ridgid in his plans and overbearing at times. Expected guests to buy his water and snacks etc.
If you're coeliac take your own food! You need to be reasonably fit to enjoy this.
A though but very nice bike tour. With all the major highlights of Sri Lanka.
The wildlife and the scenery are a definite highlight for me
The group leader has been living in Sri Lanka for the past 20 years. Most of this time he has been doing bike tours in Sri Lanka and India. This really shows in all the little details, every thing is nicely planned. But not to strict to be confining. Surpises are dealt with swift and decisive actions.
Do some training before you leave. There are some real though climbs, but they are totally worth the effort. During this trip you will ride atleast 700-800 km and climb and desent atleast 7000m!
A great experience cycling through varied (and undulating) scenery, wildlife and visiting historic sites. Good back-up and support meant all we had to do each day was cycle.
The blue whale watching trip off the south coast stood out.
Peter was enthusiastic and well organised, ensuring each day ran smoothly. The phrases "there will be undulations" and "let's try a new shortcut" essentially both meant severe hill climbing. But he led a good team that ensured we didn't get lost and always had snacks and drinks when they were most needed.
Some of the days are tough; with the heat and road surfaces they require a good level of fitness.
Tougher rides than expected because of heat and rough terrain in places. A good mix of cultural, social and wildlife experiences. Good organisation with excellent back up team
The close encounters with village life during "off the beaten track" routes. Enjoyed the varied daily itineries. Everyday produced highlights. Quirky street food and tea stops, leopard sightings and blue whales to order.
Very well versed in local culture. Very helpful in gaining insight into life in Sri Lanka. Good organisational and people skills. Knew the back roads and good bars and eateries. Thanks Pete.
Watch out for potholes in the rougher sections. I came to grief in a split second. Don't underestimate the pace of the group in hot and sweaty conditions. Although you can take a leisurely pace, for the older rider there is a sense that some rides are faster than necessary
A great and very wet holiday with some truly memorable moments. Sri Lanka has many cultural and natural attractions which are well worth seeing – visiting them on a bike just added to it. Would recommend this trip without hesitation.
Not sure about inspirational but there were memories that will stay with us:The never ending and wettest climb to the tea plantations at 6,000 feet with the most wonderful hotel at the end where we were greeted by friendly staff with cups of hot soup!The tea houses that we stopped off at each day - and their loos!Flooded paddy fields that we were ferried across on a make-shift raft by locals on our final dayThe rain, the rain and the rainLovely routes through rural lanes and the warm welcome we recieved from locals everywhere
We chose the trip because we had been on Peter's Kerala trip previously. We knew he would do a really good job and we were not disappointed. He prepared us for what to expect each day and at each hotel and used his excellent local knowledge to help us get the most out of our trip. He had warned us about the final beach hotel but it was truly awful and we could not stay there - he did his very best in helping us find an alternative hotel and never made us "Escapees" feel we were being difficult or awkward.
Don't bother with waterproofs and if possible ride in all terrain sandals which dry much quicker than shoes. If you hit the kind of monsoon rain we did for most of the holiday waterproofs are useless and skin is pretty waterproof. The rain did not spoil our holiday and bizarrely contributed to some of the highlights for me. Take old cycle tops or t-shorts that can be dumped afterwards - if it is wet and muddy no end of washing removes the marks.Remember the weather is something none of us can control - grin and bear it!We used ATM's to get cash - had no problems in finding them in any towns.Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and cycling is a wonderful way to get under the skin of it - go for it!
