We had a great time with our excellent trip leader, Ben Crabb. He was very informative about the topography and what we could expect to see on our ride. He was friendly, patient and attentive. The ride itself was interesting. I only wish I had stopped to take more photographs.

Response from Virgin Gifts
Hi Theresa, This bike tour sounds not only interesting, but super fun as well! Bike riding is such an excellent way to explore a new landscape and I am thrilled to know that you had a great day. I am so happy that your trip leader, Ben, exceeded your expectations and was able to share with you the fascinating topography and geology of the area. Although you weren't able to take as many physical photographs, I hope that your memories of that day last a lifetime! Cheers to you! Elizabeth
