Hey Vin, Good write up!
One of the worst rides ever......
There was a lack of experienced bike riders, so, they made the local help do the riding. I think I counted almost 10 crashes on the ride, mostly by the mechanics and the help.
I could write pages and pages on what a disaster this ride was!

Overall, was waiting for the trip to end, and wanted to get back home to safety!

And am happy for those who did not join, you have saved yourselves from years of biking trauma!!!
