Touring with a group

[Crankin]

Two questions: what company did you use and what level was the trip rated at?
I've been on 5 group tours and on none of them were we expected to ride together. We did our first tour in Vt., so we could drive there, and there is no way people like on your tour would have survived.
Yes, a group of weirdos is a chance you take. We've had heavy drinkers, but in our case they were very strong riders. We go off by ourselves and we've done several tours with friends.
You need to choose your company carefully and read reviews. We are planning a tour with Backroads for the summer. It's easier terrain, so we know we may be stronger riders than others, but there's riding options each day and this is where we want to travel.
Hey, you you were in my neighborhood.
