2024 ESCAPE RIDER
This was my 2nd BoC Escape of the year and I'll continue to make sure I come back for at least one Escape each year. The organisation is first class, the rides are from another world, so challenging but so so rewarding and the support on offer is unmatched by any other tour provider.
