I’d definitely ride with ACC again — maybe even in Newfoundland, since I didn’t get to see the Tablelands either time I pedalled past. I thought that it was brilliantly organized and run, but it took me a few days to learn to trust the system.  But once I realized that I’d always have the information I needed by the time I needed it, I relaxed and enjoyed it.

My expectations were pretty much what you provide — the infrastructure to do what is primarily a self-guided but semi-supported trip in a remote place. (I’ve done this sort of thing before). By semi-supported I mean the personal accountability for cooking, shopping, setting up tents, etc. I think there are other people who might have a higher expectation for a guide giving more info about the area, or more comfort, but that wasn’t what mine was. I expect to have maps and a workable route, know I don’t have to worry about accommodations, to have my gear at the location on time, to be picked up if something goes very wrong and to have tools and expertise on hand if something is wrong with my bike I can’t solve. You provided that ;-).

I sure enjoyed the Newfoundland ride and all the wonderful people I was privileged to ride and adventure with. I have had many great conversations and stories to share with my friends and family.
I hope your season of tours has been a good one for you. Would love to do another adventure with ACC.
