JAMES - UK

"One of the best biking experiences I have ever had. The routes, the group leaders, the support, the hotels, the food, the wine, the saunas and cold plunges in the fjords were all spectacular. Most of all, it was great fun riding and meeting a great group of people from all over the world."
