Overall, the trip was planned very well. BUT … this was described as a Medium skill level ride with 95% paved roads and 5% packed dirt. Not true! This was 60% paved and 40% hell. For someone that has never ridden off-road, it was a bit of a nightmare. I fell 4 times the first two days with pretty severe bruises to show for it. Also, I would suggest having a day before the tour starts to get to know the bikes before-hand. It was a little overwhelming to be on bikes you don’t know, riding with a group you’ve never ridden with, riding on the left side of the road for the first time, in ungodly traffic. We did incredibly well all things considered, but it could have been catastrophic.
