This popped up on my Facebook feed and I clicked.

It looks like something I'd be interested in: reasonably priced, locations I could drive to (i.e., take my own bike without shipping), flexible routes, not too long, etc.

Wondering if anyone had any experience or any knowledge of the operators.

Don't know anything about them, but can vouch for the Finger Lakes as being a great place to ride. Don't think you really need a tour company, though. Just rent a B&B or whatever, get a decent map and off you go. Rainy days - go to some wineries and hike into Watkins Glen.

BTW I didn't think Watkins Glen was the best place to stay when I was there. We stayed in a B&B near Penn Yan. But for a cheap trip, you could tent camp at Watkins Glen State Park, I suppose.

Thanks - looking at the other locations, though the Finger Lakes sounds nice. Just further and more expensive. I know I CAN take 4 or 5 days out and explore an unknown area on my own. But I probably wouldn't without an excuse and pre-set plan. Plus, I don't mind some minor coaching.
