To be clear, I registered for the fully guided tour....and IT WAS!!! The entire operation was exceptional and professional. From the personalize itinerary binder that every rider receives (that included maps, elevation graphics, mileage, rest stops, hotel and lunch / dinner plans) to the hands on service with the bikes was outstanding. This was my first bike tour and so I didn't know what to expect. If you chose to ride any of the trails that Crossroads Tours services I URGE you to go this route. The accomidations were very nice, the lunches good and the dinner options were all great! The flow of the entire week was seamless and very enjoyable thanks to the attention and good care we received from Luke and Eli.
