Wim - Tour de France Update

Hi all,
A bit of a follow up from last night, to elaborate on a few questions.
The Hotel accommodation on the whole was excellent, out of season ski resorts, one place we stayed the food was a bit plain, there were a few complaints. Most meals were provided, and lunch was generally made off the breakfast table, handy those little plastic bags. This meant you did not spend a lot of money, other than gifts or souvenirs.
 Ability, there were all levels of riders, Bill the American guy said after the first day, that was the furtherest he had ever ridden, most of his riding was indoor. I was somewhere in the middle. People improved as the went on, most people did the Ventou... .With the right gearing you can do it.     Flexibility, I think that’s what this tour was good at, catering to all levels.
I looked at other tour groups, most cost more for less days touring, I had been recommended Baxsters by a friend who did it in 08, Baxters have been doing it for a number of years.   Craig McDonald (crunchy) and Joann went a few years ago and did not enjoy it, they had some issue with the tour leader, not the same guy we had I think. At least 5 people on our tour had been before.     
I have some 2010 info I will send when get home.
 
Wim.
