5.00Great trip to see the 17 mile drive by bike. It definitely felt a little short for my husband and I who ride 15 mile average on non-electric bikes! We loved the tour, information, and chances to take pictures. Fun to try e-bikes.

5.00Such a beautiful way to view the 17 mile drive! Flo was the perfect guide. He was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire 17-mile ride. He made sure our bikes were working properly, that we were comfortable, and he consistently offered water, snacks, encouragement, and reassurance along the way. He is incredibly kind and truly the best. Thank you, Flo!
