Advice and other info

Having taken numerous training camps out here before everything from how to pack your bikes ready for the flight out.  Route selection and which cafés are good will be taken care of.  Times of year can be around late Jan – late Jun to run these excursions. Generally, the later you go the more monies it costs as you fall into the peak season and the hotter it gets.
