- The routes are magic....I am very proud of them and a number have been used in the Giro D'Italia.
- Guided tours have a support vehicle you do not need to carry anymore than you would on a regular club ride.
- Cyclists have loved the fact that we are not packing up everyday.  Many have felt it was the best tour they have been on.  Every year we have riders returning to do it again.
- We have a bike shop available for those who want to bring their own bike and quality rental bikes for those who prefer that option.
- The Roadie and Couple's Tours have an allowance for a partner or friend to come that are not cyclists.
