Testimonials

Michael Olthof, Waverley, Victoria, Australia

I had been looking forward to doing this trip for several years and I had very high expectations. All of them were met. It was magnificent. Due to the apparently unusually strong headwinds and, in parts, extremely rough roads it was a bit tougher than I had anticipated. But nothing could detract from the positive aspects - the camaraderie within the group, the satisfaction felt at the end of each day, the exhilaration of actually "doing it" - cycling across the greatest mountain range on Earth. And towards the end - the thrill of the spectacular descent into Nepal, with the amazing change in environment as we did so. I would not recommend this trip to just anyone; but for those who appreciate a challenge, this is the one for you! Thanks to Giles, Loca and all the crew for making everything run so smoothly.

Allyson Wakeham, Brighton, England

Beautiful country, gorgeous people - the children brought tears to my eyes with their enthusiasm towards visitors. Breath taking views, a well thought out route for a short visit and taste of Laos. Many thanks redspokes for introducing me to Laos.

Alex Whitton, England, UK

I had a fantastic trip thank you very much! Please feel free to add me to the mailing list or whatever - i'd love to go on another redspokes tour!
What a great trip 10/10!

Allyson Wakeham, Brighton, England

Christine Jackson, Isle of man, UK

I loved the whole experience. I met loads of fantastic people and felt that the group gelled together really well; particularly considering the youngest was 19 and oldest was 63. People were really laid back and looked after each other in a quiet sort of way. I was higher maintenance (!) than I would have liked to have been due to illness. It was really reassuring to know that David and the support crew were there and were really supportive and extremely helpful. I would love to do the whole trip again!! Am already looking into my next trip. Thanks for a fantastic experience.

Laura Russell, London, England

This was my first cycling holiday and was an absolutely amazing experience. Laos is a remarkable country with unbelievable scenery and the friendliest people I have ever met.

The cycling was difficult in places but it was reassuring to know that it was never far before we would turn the corner and see the van waiting with fresh fruit and hot drinks. I am already thinking about my next trip with redspokes!

Nicola Webb, Salisbury, England, UK

Absolutely loved it - would do it all again.

Laura Russell, London, England

The cycling was difficult in places but it was reassuring to know that it was never far before we would turn the corner and see the van waiting with fresh fruit and hot drinks. I am already thinking about my next trip with redspokes!

Stuart Butler, Guernsey, UK

Had such a great trip in Vietnam. Really enjoyed it. Both David Walker and the local guide, Phong, were enthusiastic and responded well to all the needs of the group.

Bea Bowen, Oxford, England

All in all an absolutely fantastic trip which has opened my eyes to the huge advantages of seeing a country by bike instead of zooming past in a bus from A to B. Both Ken and Dermot were great tour leaders, always ready with a smile and keen to make sure that everyone was getting the most out of the trip, I loved it!

Thanks for everything.

Paul Tierney, Galway, Ireland

I'd just like to say thank you for the amazing experience I had in Vietnam and one which I don't think I'll ever forget. I look forward to going on another redspokes Tour soon and will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know into cycling!

John Goveia, Oregon, USA

I am a very happy customer and recommend redspokes all the time in the USA. I'll be back! Those are the three sweetest words to Dermot! See ya later Dermot!

Stuart Williams, Kidderminster, England, UK

This was my first redspokes tour and will hopefully not be my last. Our group was a great mix of people, we were in some of the finest cycling landscapes in the World and the organisation and leadership was fantastic. Many thanks for some great memories!

Damian King, Glasgow, Scotland

As always your ability to sort out a great tour was spot on. No EFI (again) but I expect they days are well gone.

Jane Evans, Huggingtown, Co Killkenny, Ireland

An amazing experience - I would recommend this trip. The scenery was breathtaking - I particularly loved Pakistan, the people were so friendly and our guides so hospitable. We had a great group of cyclists and redspokes really looked after us well... This was my first redspokes tour but it will not be my last... thanks!

Olivia Slee, Perth, Australia

This trip was undoubtedly the best trip I have ever been on. I still find myself comparing other travels and nothing matches the amazing experience of the Laos trip. You step into a new world and interact with your surrounds to a far greater level when touring on your bike. Some of the experiences still seem very surreal. I cherrish a letter written to me by one of the schoolgirl wishing me "lucky when back to your home". I have met some amazing people and will have to organise another trip with some of the group (the two Andy's!!) in pursuit of winning a hill stage!

Nick Tompsett, Kent, England, UK

I've been on two tours with redspokes now - Laos & KKH - Kyrgyzstan. Both were spectacular and also excellent value for the price paid - particularly in comparison with trips I have done with other companies.Organisation and support on both tours has been very good - any hiccups were due entirely to local problems and quickly and adroitly overcome by Dermot (leader on both tours).Red Spokes offer to put you in contact with their clients to obtain an 'unbiased' endorsement of any trip you may be considering. But I fail to understand how any but the most mal-adjusted client could be anything but favourably biased.

Rose Mary Owen, Poulton, England, UK

This was an adventure for mind and body. Three very different countries and cultures, fascinating and thought provoking. The mountain climbs, especially the Kunjerab pass, tested my physical strength and the achievement gave deep satisfaction. The sheer beauty of the landscapes was awesome and the gentle, welcoming interest of the people we met along the way provided a memorable sense of encounter. Then there was this whole other dimension of the group and the wonderful mix of fun, support, solidarity and space - companionship at its best. Finally there is Dermot. He has an exceptional sense of adventure, a genuine interest in people and endless resourcefulness that dares to push new boundaries brings all this together and provides a unique experience. Go redspokes!

Trevor Taylor, Shropshire, England, UK

Having toured extensively previously, both with organised groups and independently, my first redspokes trip was a unique and unforgettable experience - a top trip in top company following the road less travelled. It is redspokes' particular combination of adventurous cycling in unexpected destinations and mixing with local people that makes them stand out and makes you feel that you are really on a journey of discovery. And Dermot's unfailing calm and optimism in the face of any logistical difficulties keeps the group's spirits high and the whole show moving on.

Karen Allworthy & Geoff Messenger, London, England, UK

Mike Shelton, Cheltenham, England, UK

Really good trip, having spent the previous week cycling on my own in southern Laos/Thailand, it was great to have everything arranged. The big advantage of an organized trip is that you don't have to ride the dull bits and there are interesting extras like the Mekong river trip, the stay in Khens village and the Hmong village visit. The 15 mile interval between stops is just right. The support crew and all these stops added a lot to the trip.

Geoff & Emma Pittaway, Middlesex, England, UK

We both had the time of our lives, although at times it did not feel like that!!! Great trip, amazing country, great route and good accommodation - thank you - only trouble is now we want to do more!

Dave Bolton, Monmouth, England , UK

The Manali to Leh trip was fantastic - big skies, big mountains and a real feeling of being "out there". A real challenge and a journey that I'll never forget. It was my fourth redspokes trip and, as ever, Dermot's knowledge of the issues facing the local population and unfailing good humour and enthusiasm made the experience all the more enjoyable.

Rita Gough, Preston, England, UK

I have memories that will last me a life time - Travelling to remote places by bicycle is such a great way of meeting ordinary people and gaining a real understanding of how they live. Despite language barriers this type of travel highlights that humour, kindness and interest in each other are universal features of humanity. It's a good for the soul! This was a fantastic group of travelling companions - everyone looked out for each other & great company of like minded people. I think this must have been a difficult tour to run with all the border crossings but throughout I was confident that we were in safe hands.

Mike Shelton, Cheltenham, England, UK

The 15 mile interval between stops is just right. The support crew and all these stops added a lot to the trip.

Tatjana Troll, Berlin, Germany

Fantastic trip: amazing, exhilarating and challenging, hard work though; I'd happily recommend it to my best friend and to my worst enemy...

Simon Clayton, Norwich, England, UK

Three countries in 3 weeks starting in Pakistan. My expectations were high, and I was not disappointed. Breath taking scenery, unbelievably friendly locals, excellent tour organisation and a great bunch of cyclists to travel with. Dermot was an inspiration to us all. His enthusiasm was contagious, his interest in the local community was inspiring andhis watchful eye always adjusting details to suit our needs. A great tour by a great company.

Lee Trower, Essex, England, UK

Cathy Sheehan, Auckland, New Zealand

When I heard the wildest people from the 2005 redspokes Laos tour would be cycling from Karakoram to Kyrgyzstan in 2007, it was impossible to turn down, even though I knew some of the cycling would probably be too tough for me - but that's what the bus is for. Pakistan was a revelation - the hospitality and goodwill were outstanding. The taste of Uighur culture on the edge of China was fascinating, and mysterious mountainous Kyrgyzstan was as spectacular as I imagined. Imagine seeing yaks, camels, ibex and eagles from your bike, but rarely spotting another tourist. An outstanding experience - great crew of guides, drivers and cooks, wonderful company, music and fun - and all with the magic touch of Dermot who pulls the whole thing together and seemingly effortlessly makes sure everyone has a great time.

Ally Wakeham, Brighton, England, UK

Owen Cooper, Manchester, England, UK

I was hugely impressed by the Organization throughout the tour, which was always low key/relaxed, yet clearly well planed. A huge thank you for designing an experience that'll stay with me for many years - the combination of cycling, scenery and meeting local people was superb. Few experiences live up to expectation, especially when you are really looking forward to something, but "lost in time" not only lived up to expectation, but exceeded it. Thank you

Nigel Carrick, Northumberland, England, UK

A fantastic trip Dermot, even better than you described it. We cycled for days without seeing another westerner. This was very much the real Vietnam very much off the beaten track and away from all the usual tourist traps.Your local guides were great - and so much history and culture to take in. What more could you want!

John Kime, Leek, England, UK

Thank you Dermot (redspokes) for a wonderful experience, it was a joy and delight to be able to cycle this road with you and the group.

It will always live in my memory.

Mary Howden, Edinburgh, Scotland

I found the support provided to me by the guides and drivers to be excellent. At times I was very slow and they never made me feel it was a problem.

Peter Khoo, Leeds, England, UK

I enjoyed the tour immensely - well organized, well led a good bunch of participants who were all friendly and prepared to make the effort to all get on. Dermot was a wonderful tour leader with great skills to deal with people on tour. Mr Arman and Mr Lee, both wonderful, I can't praise them enough for their help, support, hard work, humour, information and friendliness.

The combination of scenery and people make for a fascinating and unforgettable trip. A great chance to explore an area that is difficult to access independently in a 2 week time span. redspokes is a great company offering fabulous trips. It's got the blend of support and independence just about right. Keep it up.

Steve Owen, Poulton, England, UK

redspokes goes beyond providing exciting and rewarding cycling through breathtaking landscapes and fascinating countries - it takes you right inside exotic cultures and communities. I've travelled with Red Spokes through South East Asia, Pakistan, China and Kyrgyzstan and a consistent theme has been Dermot's use of local hand-picked guides to ensure that there are opportunities to delve deeper and get to really good understand of the countries you visit. The tours seek to provide everyone with opportunities. If you want to explore, to cycle hard, enjoy shared experiences, be affected by rather than just see a country ,redspokes has room for you- just bring your sense of adventure........... and fun.

Eric Coull, Rosslea, Australia

I lived in Scotland for 30 years but would never have seen the remote Highlands if not for redspokes. A wonderful holiday experience with a broad range of friendly and interesting people. The group was of varying abilities from beginner to very good. All were able to ride at their own pace and no one missed out on anything. I'm now looking forward to further trips with redspokes.

Chris Darke, Henley-on-Thames, England, UK

My first ride with redspokes, fantastic route through country lanes and bridleways, great bunch of people, well organised for all levels of ability, thanks Dermot, Ian and the team. Highlight of the day assent to the top of the South Downs with great views in what was perfect weather then a coast down to the Pier on Brighton front. Definitely looking forward to my next trip with redspokes.

Doug Pether, London, England, UK

Michelle Emery, London, England, UK

Mark Heffer, St Leanard-on-Sea, England, UK

Dermot, thanks to you I have ridden the highest roads in the world, what a story to tell in the pub!

I will never forget the one hour of flat out descending from the 5,603m Khardung 'la pass I have great memories, amazing photos, and good friends from the trip, thanks again!

Derek Wright, UK

A1, magic trip, one of my best. I'd always wanted to do the Karakoram Highway and thanks to Dermot's enthusiasm and know how, I fulfilled my dream.

Some of the best mountain scenery in the world from a bike saddle! Very friendly local people and a really helpful local guide Arman.

Stephen Phillips, Norfolk, England, UK

Being my first cycle tour abroad I could be forgiven for feeling a bit apprehensive, however the relaxed approach of Red Spokes soon put me at ease. If you ever want a first cycle tour abroad go with Red Spokes, In fact, if you ever want a cycle tour, go with Red Spokes!

Andy Riley, Leeds, England, UK

Kevin Sheedy, London, England, UK

Lorne Satchwell, London, England, UK

Passion is normally something you cannot buy, but travelling with redspokes it is possible. Basically the most passionate and enjoyable small group holiday team ever. Great guides, great company, great passion.

Melva Correa, Hackney, London, England, UK

Thanks redspokes! Steve and I had a fantastic day out. It was both challenging and rewarding, well organised and you certainly did a great job with the weather... perfect all round! We will certainly be looking to do some other trips with redspokes.

Kim Caplin, Surry, England, UK

Chris Fielden, Nottingham, England, UK

Excellent tour, I think I'll struggle to find a much better holiday

Phil Nelson, Waterlooville, England, UK

A brilliant trip extremely well led by Dermot from redspokes. You need a mountain bike for the terrain and sometimes good legs but everyone helps each other and a backup is there if you need it. The scenery and the people were fascinating. The local population are friendly and often seen in authentic ethnic dress, not because of tourists as there weren't many, but because that's what they genuinely wore. I have cycled in lots of places but this trip was a real new experience. My advice - go now and see it as I saw it before it all changes.

Robert Forster, Norwich, England, UK

Anna Reid, London, England, UK

Vicky Skilton, Essex, England, UK

A truly memorable weeks cycling - everyone got on very well together. If you want wild, beautiful scenery, fresh air and a real challenge I recommend trying this excellent  good value tour! The scenery around Achiltibuie and north west of Lochinver will rival anything you've seen! 

Maria Mellinas-Gomez, London

Richard Atkin, Reading, England, UK

Chris Fielden, Nottingham, England, UK

Rita Gough, Preston, England, UK

An outstanding experience that I will always remember. I felt part of Laos/Thailand, rather than a spectator and it was great riding through the less well known villages/towns.

Mr Campbell McLeod, Leeds, England, UK

Fantastic trip, the people were some of the friendliest and hospitable I have ever met. The scenery was breathtaking and Dermot & Arman were absolute starts. Can't recommend redspokes enough.

Richard Matheson, Leeds, England, UK

Jonathan Lucking, Essex, England, UK

redspokes pitched this tour just right for me; the cycling was hard but achievable. Accommodation was great, as was the food. The camaraderie engendered by the effort was unforgettable.

Kim Kelly, London, UK

James Launders, London, England, UK

Ian Langley, Falkirk, Scotland

I had a really enjoyable trip to Laos with redspokes last year and I was wondering if the Cambodia trip could be such a good experience. I needn't have worried, the trip was great. The visit to Angkor Wat in particular was very memorable. The cycling was varied and interesting and had some flexibility which seemed to allow all the group to enjoy it. I would definitely go on another redspokes trip.

Rita Gough, Preston, England, UK

Penny Weir, Avimore, Scotland

Thank you for such a great trip to Laos/Thailand - what a magical country. A great experience.

Derek Hunter, Bromley, England, UK

A fantastic tour covering parts of Northern Vietnam not normally frequented by tourists - had a real adventure feel. The tour met all my pre-event aspirations with regards to people, adventure, challenge and satisfaction - would be difficult to better.

Keith Swanson, Norfork, England, UK

I would like to thank Dermot and all the other staff for providing me with a truly memorable experience. 

It was exactly what I was looking for and as a consequence totally lived up to my expectations.

Martin Crane, Oxford, England, UK

Hotels for me are about location rather than facilities, I get the feeling that where there are really nice hotels you had found them and we stayed in them and in other places we stayed in the nicest available. Camping was great too.

Bobby Buck, Swindon, England, UK

I had an excellent time, the variety of rides, challenges, terrain and scenery coupled with unsurpassed support and service from all the guides and supporters made for a great holiday despite problems encountered with my own bike. May have ruined biking back home in the UK as I can't see me being able to get the sense of achievement or exhilaration that was got from everyone involved.

Looking forward to giving the Tibet trip a go in the near future with Suresh hopefully as guide.

Trevor Taylor, Edinburgh, Scotland

Cycling through the dramatic landscapes of the Pamirs with barely any traffic all day (especially when on the plateau) and thinking it can't get better than this but it does around the next bend, is an experience to be treasured. But the abiding memory is of the astonishing hospitality and generosity of the Pamiri people who would humble you by joyfully offering all they had with you unable to offer anything in return.

Elizabeth Al-Khalifa, Birmingham, England, UK

Christine Compagnoni, Hackney, London, UK

Thank you for organising such an amazing trip. I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed this cycling tour. The bike was first class, the scenery stunning the bed and breakfast chosen great, in short this trip exceeded my expectations in every way, and will certainly recommend redspokes to friends and hope to use you again for future trips.

Laurie Maybanks, Bushy, Hertfordshire, England, UK

Dave Quigley, Glasgow, Scotland

Joe Rood, London, England, UK

Well Dermot you have done it again, fuelled my enthusiasm for Cycling and Travelling. Really enjoyed the trip. My only disappointment was losing at Pool, ha ha!I will just have to make sure I get my own back on the next trip. Thanks again redspokes for coming up trumps again!

Penny Weir, Avimore, Scotland

Tim Lawley, Ludlow, Shropshire, England, UK

A truly breathtaking and enjoyable experience, with outstanding leadership and organisation skills allowed me to enjoy the fantastic scenery along the way. 

The tour was excellent value for money, with more food provided than you could ever eat.

Anthony Lengden, Salford, England, UK

A fantastic experience. Both challenging and rewarding. Great bunch of people on tour and in support team.

Occasionally very draining, but always enjoyable and fantastic memories to last a lifetime.

Alice Appleton, Leeds, England, UK

A wonderful trip, very well organised and with a superb support system so that everyone who could ride that day/section was encouraged and enabled, but anyone who was sick or otherwise couldn't ride was assisted swiftly and with compassion but no fuss. A great adventure - thoroughly recommended.

John Fisher, Leeds, England, UK

From stepping off the plane in Delhi to riding the highest mountain pass in the world the trip was special and full of extremes and beauty. There were very tough moments and the challenges were met by a great group of people helped and guided by the local people, The support and back up were fantastic and with everyone coming home in one piece a great testimony to a well planned expedition.

Kevin Bailey, Worcestershire, England

What a great trip! Thanks for running with such low numbers after the cancellation of the Tibet trip. Ramesh , our guide, was brilliant and I would definitely go with him again.

He cycled every metre with us and was a fantastic companion ensuring we were comfortable at all times. We had the most fabulous food and always felt that our every comfort was being catered for, right down to early morning tea in bed and a nice steaming bowl of hot water to wash in! Even a hot water bottle on those cold high mountains, it goes without saying that this is one of the most beautiful and dramatic routes in the world and every day was jaw dropping. Brilliant! Particularly good transfers which made life so much less stressed.

Ken Moyer, Pennsylvania, USA

The trip was well planned from the start. We enjoyed a brief taste of Delhi, riding a tuk-tuk around town, and then had a chance to acclimatize riding a train and then driving to Manali. The mountains, monasteries and Indian cuisine offered an exotic experience. With the high altitude, the day long bike rides invigorated us as we enjoyed a close-up experience with the local village people. 

Camping was very comfortable, from our cots and dining tent to the home-made food. Ramesh, our guide, and Aneil, our cook, plus our driver, made us feel very welcome. They were professional and personable.I would highly recommend this trip for the fit cyclist who wants to experience northern Indian life.

Christine Bratton, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Enjoyable and well-organized trip with like-minded fellow cyclists. Enthusiastic leader and great local support team. Gorgeous, spectacular terrain and scenery.

Mark Swindall, Worthing, West Sussex, England

Great opportunity to experience a remote wilderness area and really test your cycling. Truly a memorable trip, encompassing a wide variety of scenic and cultural opportunities, and excellent value

Julia Swindall, Worthing, West Sussex, England

Despite suffering badly from altiude sickness (I was only well enough to do three days cycling) I have come away feeling I had a great trip and feel privilegd that I was able to stay with the group and to have seen the Himalayas. ( this was only possible because of the excellent care and support I recieved from Felipe Sushil and my husband Mark).I may be tempted one day to give it another go!

Geoff Bennett, Australia

A good tour with Raju being very helpful and Naveem and Vee good to ride with. Another good redspokes trip.

David Brixey, West Sussex, UK

Raju and his team were excellent. They had very good local knowledge, they went out of their way to look after us and to make sure that we had everything that we needed to get the most from the trip.

Tom Wojcik, Vancouver, Canada

This is a great trip! The Indian partners went out of their way to ensure our comfort and safety throughout. Campsites were chosen with care and were all very nice. The food was first rate! The care taken to acclimatize people was appreciated, as most of us had minimal altitude-related issues. I would recommend this trip to any of my experienced cycling buddies; this was probably the best value for money I've received for any cycling trip I have done.

Ed Kenney Herbert, Weston-Super-Mare, England, UK

The trip was superb, the scenery and weather were excellent and I thought that the tour was exceedingly good value for what was included.

Anne Barry, Peterborough, England, UK

Very good trip. Good fun - great group of people. Beautiful countryside, friendly people and food to die for, especially as I am a vegetarian!

Thomas Preston, South East, England, UK

Having been on many supported trips in Asia, the situation of lodging and food is always somewhat of an adventure; but usually wonderful, and this trip was no exception. Regardless, the best or worst accommodations and/or food quality become secondary when the guide is a caring and enthusiastic person, such as Mr. Ox in Nepal. No matter the distance, weather, conditions, lodging, food, or whatever, Ox was always there to be a positive force in every aspect of our trip!

Eugene Yurist, London, UK

Overall the trip was great. The information which was sent prior to the start was solid.  Mr. Heang was very thorough during the trip briefing and the daily summary in terms of itinerary, sights and sounds and safety. The bikes were well serviced daily, the food - both restaurant and picnic - was great and Mr. Heang, Mr. Ratha and the drivers kept us safe, sound and motivated, i.e. nothing stood in the way of ENJOYING THE RIDE! I recommend the trip and the team highly for all levels of experience.

Steve Barnes, London, England, UK

This trip to Tibet and the chance to cycle The Roof Of The World has to be the ultimate experience for any rider. Steeped in history and mystery, Tibet remains a truly wonderful wilderness, and if the altitude doesn't take your breath away the views certainly will! If you are looking for a challenge and something that little bit different, this is the perfect trip. Everyone should do it.

Kirsty MacPherson, Dundee, Scotland

Doing this trip has been one of my greatest experiences of my life. The scenery and people of both countries will knock your socks off and the sense of achievement is indescribable. It was tough going at times but the support crew and Dermot made sure that the group were well looked after.

Eliza Wolfson, Bristol, UK

Fantastic riding every day, which was sometimes quite challenging, and the right amount of rest days. What really made this trip stand out and be so rewarding was the variety of landscape and terrain. Definitely more mountain biking than touring, but in the best possible way.

Nepal was not what I expected, it was dustier and busier and more full of life. Definitely worth it - just book it. Then get training!

Marie Sadler, Bedfordshire, England, UK

This truly for me was the trip of a lifetime and every day lived up to my expectations and beyond.Its impossible to explain the amazing scenery and the emotion at being at the rooftop of the world! Even on the toughest days there was always something that made you smile. This is an incredible adventure. We had a wonderful group, relaxed and fun to be with.The support and encouragement was always in abundance. David our "leader" ;-) and all the support team Tibetan and Nepalese did an incredible job looking after us, the meals they turned out to say the least were spectacular!!! I couldn't fault a thing! This was my third redspokes tour and you continually get it right... Well done and I look forward to choosing my next adventure with you.

Melanie Hufnagel and Jurgen Fenn, Germany

Die Tour war sehr gut organisiert und das begleitpersonal immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben bis jetzt noch nie so luxorios gezeltet. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswerte Reise. The tour was very well organised and the local staff were always friendly and helpful. We have never before experienced such luxurious camping. All in all a very recommendable trip.

Warren Foreman, Trinity Gardens, South Australia

I really had a fantastic trip, it was well organised, the support crew were great and the cycling was beyond what I could have imagined. To cycle through such remote and rugged country and meet up with people who are living as their forefathers have done for hundreds of years has made this the standout of my cycling holidays. This has been the best 'bang'Â� for my cycling 'buck'Â� ever.

Ian Kirkland, Scotland, living in Australia

This was a fascinating journey from start to finish with a great group of fellow cyclists, guides and support crew. I feel a huge sense of achievement having completed the journey. Both Tibet and Nepal are stunningly beautiful countries. Cycling in the Everest region is an experience that will stay with me for many years. I would definitely recommend redspokes to anyone I know who is thinking of doing a long distance cycling trip. Everything ran extremely smoothly and I think this has a lot to do with the experience of the guides and the well thought out organisation that went into the planning of the trip.

Debbie Denton, Chesterfield, England, UK

Best holiday ever, look forward to the next.
