What a great way to spend a few hours! Really enjoyed the bike tour that included beautiful sites, interesting history & great exercise. Our tour guide, Steve, knew just when to stop to either point out something of interest or give us a break. We got to see some out of the way areas that you wouldn't normally see by car or foot. Well worth the time!
