E-mail from Steve Dopson 19/04/10 Re: April Trefle

Hi Chris

Just a short note to say what a wonderful time I had last week.

As you know I was a late replacement, when I was asked if I wanted to go come along I accepted with some scepticism, trail riding and road books have never interested me at all. I could not have been more surprised about how the three days were organised, what a fantastic job you have done, all the preparation you do certainly pays off.

You, John and Dominque put up with me and made me feel part of the gang and comfortable very quickly. I only knew Dave, Mick and Andy before the trip and I now feel I have made many more friends.

I do hope I will be allowed back sometime!

Take care and vive le France!

Danke

E-mail from Ben Smith 18/04/10 Re: April Trefle

Chris,

Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy the trips. I love trying to stay on the bike and follow the road map at the same time and it totally clears my head from work, which is unfortunately rare these days.

It was really nice that I could spend a few days with Dad for his 60th, doing something that we both enjoy so much. The countryside is incredible and you sort out a great atmosphere, and have the most superb back-up.

I'll try and come again before we have to tell Dad that he's a too to old.

Thanks a lot

Ben

E-mail from Darren 'Craig' Smith 13/10/07 Re: Oct 06 Lozere

Dear Chris and team,

Just a quick note to thank you for the superb time we and the sport-adventure virgins experienced this week . it's been the best biking experience we've had. The thing where this trip really scores high was the diversity of the terrain experienced one hour your're on fast track next large loose rocks , steep loose rock and dirt climbs ,mountain goat passes.then single track foot-up trail type sections in the bottom of a valley,
it's like the best bits from all the enduro's you've ever done in three days,see you again.darren{craig}smith

E-mail from Paul Bevan 16/09/06 Re: Sept 06 Pyrenees

Chris,

We both thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would love to come again when hopefully the trail will be a a little easier and the views a little longer, particularly on day 3, because it surely can't rain twice like that - can it?

Cheers

Paul

E-mail from Ian Exton 26/06/06 Re: June 2006 Pyrenees

I'd like to thank you and Yasmina for an excellent three day trip last week in the Pyrenees... I had such a great time riding with Kevin, Stuart and Russell to the top of the mountain on the third day.... I've been grinning like a fool and wondering when I can do another tour.

Cheers

E-mail from Ian Coulson 19/06/06 Re: June 2006 Pyrenees

Just a note to thank you again for a splendid trip. Despite my inadequate preparation but thanks to your and Christian's consideration (and avoiding the extremes!!), I really had a fantastic time. Please extend my thanks again to Yasmine and Christian. Must do some work to redress the balance of all of that lovely confit de canard!

E-mail from John Plumpton 23/09/04 Re: Tour de Morvan

Chris,

Many thanks for an excellent 3 days riding, it was definitely some of the best riding I have done. All the guys really enjoyed it and it has formed many hours of pub based recollections. We have been heartily recommending the tours to our other friends and expect to return in the future, if you don't mind having us.

Once again thanks for your patience in leading us and putting up with our lack of map reading skills, next time we will be certain to do more map reading and get lost less.

A final thanks for the help in getting me back on the road after my fork seal problem, can you give me an address I can send you a replacement set to. By the way, after an awful lot of ribbing I have now acquired neoprene gaiters, I couldn't handle any more micky taking.

Have you got the dates for next year, we are quite interested in the Burgundy trip!

Cheers.

E-mail from Russell Crockford 21/05/04 Re: Normandie

Hey Chris,

Great fun en Normandie! I loved it, couldn't remember a thing on the route which made it seem like a new trip. Neal had a great time.

Its still a unique moto-holiday that any 'follow-my-leader' type ride cannot come close too.

Cheers

Russell.

Hi Chris

Just a short note to say how much fun we had in Normandie.

Really was a blast, most amusing.......especially when the rain arrived.

Richard and I had so much fun, we want to come again. Can you please put us down for any cancellations in April.

Anyway, great trip, and many thanks
