    This tour exceeded our expectations; which were high to start with. The Chain Gang did a great job of organizing this tour as every day got better with something more exciting to experience than the day before. Tim (our guide) can be summed up in three words: competent, prepared, and funny! The bikes that they have are good for the job (T-bar Treks) and they provide you with everything that you might need for your trip; e-bikes available. If you are looking for a well-organized and memorable trip, this one could be for you!
