Scotland

fantastic bike trip, with wonderful guides dan, paul & trainee tom (who was a fantastic addition). well layed out, beautiful countryside. accommodations were good - the only downside was the beaumont hexham hotel, which left much to be desired. other than that everything was up to the usual excellent VBT standards.

This tour was very challenging for me, and I took some time off of the bike. Hattie and Mick were excellent guides and provided me with recommendations on the most difficult portions of the route so I could ride in the support van on the steepest longest grades. The Lake District rides were very beautiful. All the hotels were good.
