Not at all ouzo... just mentioning there's a lot of people out there trolling people trying to do good both in and out the cycling community. I didn't nor do I mean you. I do hope you may look at joining us for future tours. We are all-inclusive and aim at building people up, giving more confidence to the average rider to believe they can ride further with the correct support. Sorry to hear about the blocked sites at work. We need to get the powers at be into cycling. 😉

By no means are we embarrassed by the costs. Today's culture leads people to look at price without looking at what's included, followed by the same people making comments on how they can ride by themselves for free. In marketing, a company will never lead with price, but rather the value into what you are buying. The costs, just like the routes, proposed pace, etc., is all on the website as transparent as we can be. The serious entrants who click on the link to the website will see this, but the keyboard warriors will scroll and troll on.
