"John & Brigitte, Thanks for a great week - it was 5 days of pure mountain biking and great laughs! It just doesn't get any better. The mix of single, landrover (old drover roads?), and forestry track was excellent. This tour has reminded me what real mountain biking is all about - back to its roots...and there were plenty of them! Many thanks once again. We will be back"
