We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the contrast of a few days in the Black forest and then the amazing Towns of the Alsace. The riding was well paced through beautiful country, with the occasional tough hill to keep you honest. Hotels on the whole were good choices with friendly staff. The bikes were ideal for the terrain.
