" I really like sight seeing on a bike. I enjoyed all the points of interest, historic sites and scenic views, from the horse farm to the retirement home to even the one room schoolhouse. That's why I went on the trip, to see the things best seen from a bike, not to just put miles on a bike. The food was excellent. A very good trip!"

David King

" This is one of the best vacations I have been on in my life. Exceptional experience from the care taken to make sure participants were supported to the effort made by the guides to get to know you and to make sure you had the best experience possible."

Nancy McClure

" The trip exceeded my expectations more than I ever dreamed. I loved it! Everything was awesome! The Inns, the food, the bicycling, the extra tours, seeing Vermont, getting personal help from the trainers, but most of all the relationships that were built along the way."

Daphne Richardson
