Most Inspirational Moment
Some amazing scenery and always the best when we got to the top of a climb!
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had a brilliant group leader. liz was out 1st thing in the morning sorting our bikes out - sooo many punctures and was always there to support punctures/broken chains as we went along. She knows her stuff!
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would say make sure you have some level of fitness, otherwise you wont really enjoy the trip. The scenery is spectacular, which when going up steep climbs you need to remember to look at! There are a few technical tracks, but you can just get off and walk or just get in one of the vehicles. Its definitely worth it, as there is full support all the time, great food and good bikes - if you are thinking of taking your bike, I wouldnt! The bikes provided were great and it meant they had all the wear and tear - my bike had 7 punctures, the group had over 50 and we had a couple of broken chains and gears went - if you have your own bike, you have to sort all of this!
Suggestions
Overall a great trip. I went out on my own, but before you know it you are all bonding over a beer and by the end of the week you are best buddies. We had full back up throughout, had a tour leader and a local guide so there was always a staff member at the front and back of the pack, as well as a car at the front and back. Great food, plenty of snacks and hotels were absolutely fine.
