Firstly, a well organised trip and everything went to plan, so very well done to VR for that :-)
Luggage -
I read the travel guide from VR and purchased a duffle bag especially for the trip. I was annoyed then that 9 others in the group had luggage from hard case suitcases and hard cased carry on to wheeled duffle bags (both of which I already had). No penalty for them breaking the rules? Our soft bags mostly ended up under their hard luggage on the bus - not fair.
Language -
With the best will in the world, mixing 3 non French speaking with 9 French speaking just doesn't work. We just didn't know what was being said and it led to segmentation within the group. This was disappointing as it meant we struggled to make friends or casual conversation with most of the group.
Videos/photos -
I expected that VR would put a video together of our ride, I was disappointed when I realised any videos were up to us. I would have been prepared to pay for such a video/album. We didn't do enough group photos.
I really loved the trip! It was just a great advernture with good people in a marvellous scenery. I highly recommend this tour. But only as rider. I think for a Pilon this will be a pain in the ass ^^. But I cannot judge, is just my opinion. The only negativ point I have is the accident we had. I think someone with the riding experience of Alexander should not be allowed to go on such a tour. I discussed quite a while about joining or not, due I had no offroad experience. But I had ad least 15 years riding experience. Thats it. Keept going like this. I am looking forward to join another tour in the future.

I'm always up for a challenge and this ride really gave me one. Both physically and mentally.
At times did feel a little rushed and there was more hours riding than we all anticipated. Maybe this tour needs another day or less miles.
But at the end of the day all in all I really enjoyed it and glad I did it. Not ,many people can lay claim to riding these roads.
Superb organisation, an excellent itinerary, very…
The overall organisation was excellent. the tour tougher that I imagined, many 10/11 hour days in the bike gear. I think most participants found it harder than they expected from listening to them.
Quite a big adventure. Thanks Mike B
This was the toughest trip I have ever done in my life, but glad I did it, however, the long hours riding on poor roads made it tiring and meant I didnt get to take in the views as much as I'd have liked. The weather was sometimes inclement and because the group was tired and wet, mistakes were made, increasing accident risks - not recommended in the locations we were at as it would be difficult to recover somebody to a hospital if necessary. It was a high risk trip
