Before you sign up for the bike trip advertised on the front page

you might want to take a look at the site below. Dragondaughter took this trip last year and was very disappointed. I wish someone had given her this information before she invested in the trip.

1. I don't see what's wrong with this organization.

What's your problem with it?

3. If you read down to the bottom

you'll see the experiences of people who went on the trip. It sounds very good in the advertisements, but reality can be very different.

2. thanks for the info and the link....

I'm a northern california bike tourist so that ad was very appealing to me. The discussion in the thread you linked was very illuminating, especially the comments from prior tourists near the bottom.

4. running a for profit business with crappy customer service

isn't going to go very far, no matter what the ideology behind the business may be. Sounds like 'vlad' wants to act like a non-profit, but still, you know, profit. :eyes:



Just my two cents.
