'THE MOST AMAZING TRAILS IN THE WORLD'

Strengths:
Did two weeks with Fernie Fattire in summer 2004, 'Gravity Fed' tour week 1 and the 'Best of B.C.' tour. The guides are all fully trained instructors and extremely competent and experienced riders. Felt totally at ease with these guys and they gave your confidence a nudge when it was most needed - some of the steeps are very extreme.

Weaknesses:
Mosquitos - not Ferni Fattire's fault but they really eat you alive in the campsites. Need serious spray for these little suckers. A lot of driving involved which compromised time in the saddle. B.C. is not small and the trails are quite far apart. Did I mention the mossies?

Overall:
Great memories, great company, great guides, great food, great riding... can I say more.

I learned so much from my two weeks and pushed limits I would never have believed I would do in riding my bike. Been with other tour organisers since and Fernie Fattire are definitely the most organised outfit out there. They are encouraging while being safe.

If you want to experience the magnificent beauty of the Rockies I could recommend noone better to show you all the hidden treasures.

'AWESOME - best riding I've ever done!'

Strengths:
The guides. They were the friendliest, most helpful people I've ever met and incredible riders with lots of advice. Great food, too.

Weaknesses:
Long drive from airport to Fernie, but once that was over with the rest of the drives were pretty manageable.

Overall:
I didn't know what to expect when I booked my trip but my expectations were exceeded by far. The areas we visited were incredibly beautiful, and the trails were world-class. I've already booked my trip for '05 and am counting the days! Cheaper than a trip to France.
