Beautiful countryside and great accommodations. Stephen gave us marvellous support and advice. Phone app worked extremely well. Daily ride descriptions would be improved by describing climbs in text as well as the provided elevation graphic. Motorists were generally considerate of riders, but riders need to remain alert at all times on the road.

This trip was fabulous. The distances were not taxing, but I was glad to have the e-bike for the hills. The 3 hotels were a fabulous contrast and all comfortable.
