Roger and Suzie, Thanks for the summary of our trip, I had a wonderful time. Again, both of you did a marvelous job organizing the trip...along with the accommodations and the planned meals, it was an added bonus to have the speakers come and entertain us. Thank you for arranging the times for the talks and showing up along the trail with snacks and being so accommodating all throughout the ride... Your enthusiasm and humor really added to the enjoyment of the ride… Looking forward to joining you on some future trips...

~ Ann Vinup, Maryland

Suzie and Roger, Thanks from the sisters from Kansas City for one of our best bike tours ever. We loved the food, the route, the people....we loved it all. I believe we're going to try to do one of your tours in 2009.

~ Sharon Davis, Carol Ann Gardner, Kansas

Suzie and Roger, Your three participants from Southern New Jersey completely enjoyed the Rhode Island Tour. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the food. We thank you for all your efforts to make the trip enjoyable and to keep us safe. We hope we can join with you on another tour in the future.

~ The Three Horseman-Giuseppe, Bob and Gene, New Jersey

Suzie and Roger, I had another wonderful tour with you this year. It was my 3rd and I hope to join you for more. I thought Rhode Island 2005 was my favorite until now, the Cape is a tie for 1st. Also loved the California 2006!! I really hope you will include Deanne King (Texas) and I on your plans for Maine. It's been on by "bucket list" for about 8 years. I'd rather visit there on a "Bike and the Like" tour than with any other group! I biked all the options and still had lots of opportunities for photos, dips in the ocean, ice cream, making friends!!

~ Jane Monroe, Washington

Thank you so much for the time and effort you both put in the Cape Cod Tour. You both were always smiling and eager to help with any request. I truly enjoyed the tour and I am looking forward to join you again in the future.

~ Eliane Henry, Texas and France

Just a quick note to say Thank YOU !!!!! for leading us on such a wonderful ride... the weather, food, history, riders and most of all, your leadership and "spirit" made for a memorable life experience !!!

~ Andy Muench, Virginia

Thanks so much for the incredible week (Holland II). It was truly one of the most spectacular weeks of my life. It was a great itinerary and you both were superb in the way you handled things. I certainly hope to go on one of your trips in the future.

~ Steve Sliper, Michigan

The Trip was great!!!!! Not a single disappointment in anything. My sister and I have talked about it everyday since we've been back. The touring and sites that you took us to were all excellent, the towns were something that you could only imagine unless you were there. The accommodations on the boat were more than any of us could have expected and so much more. I'm sure that we will see each other on future trips...

~ Mike Affrunti, Massachusetts

This was about our best vacation yet!!! We really like your way of doing things. We loved the flexability...a plan without micromanaging! We hope we can ride with you again next summer. We don't want to miss out! We just want to thank you for our best anniversary yet! Also our best bike tour yet! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

~ Gary and Karen Ide, Nevada

Hi Roger and Suzie,
Your California Tour was the most enjoyable bicycling I have experienced. As Hosts you definitely excelled. You were always prepared, stressed cycling safety, provided first class accommodations, fed me better than I feed myself, provided excellent SAG support, and Roger managed to keep this “Tail-End-Charlie” on track throughout the tour.

I am definitely considering taking this tour next year. It was that enjoyable! Next year I expect to be a stronger rider and I am going to practice navigating from a cue sheet while riding.

Thank you for your hard work and personal attention. It contributed greatly to a most positive tour experience.

~ Lehman Eaton, California

Suzie and Roger, Thank you for a wonderful (California)tour. One of the best I've done. Good route with beautiful scenery, good lodgings, good food and a group that came together - just so. Couldn't ask for anything more. I enjoyed meeting you both and hope to do another trip with you...

~ Phyllis Stensland, Washington

We had such a wonderful trip.... How lucky we were on our first trip to Europe! I can't believe how many things we were able to see in one short week! The Keukenhof was breathtaking ! We definitely will be back for another trip!!

Thanks so much to you, Suzie and Roger!! We couldn't have had better hosts... and now, I hope we can call you friends!

~ Bill and Mary Scott, Illinois

Hi Suzie, Roger,

WOW !!!!!...Our HOLLAND TULIP trip was out of the "BEST BIKE TRIP CATALOG"! The tulip fields were incredibly beautiful, towns full of history, museums, villages, castles, north sea and extraordinary beautiful country. The barge was a great experience and food was also great.

Thanks again and again to you both for making our adventure yours too. Love your little side trips and exploring ways... We got to see more than we thought possible... MY VERY BEST TRIP EVER... look forward to my next adventure with you.

~ Lorry Carroll, California

Thanks Suzy and Roger for everything. It was a very fun, enjoyable, beautiful, delightful (I could go on) bike tour.

You folks are wonderful. I love your passion and caring for this tour.

~ Barbara Andersen, Illinois

Thanks for memories for my son and me that will last a lifetime !!! Bravo!! You and Roger were gracious hosts and I am so happy for choosing you a second time for a bicycle tour.

~ Anthony Iaccarino, New York

Suzie and Roger,

We had a wonderful time with you both and in Holland in general. We look forward to booking something in the future with you again and, of course, have been singing your praises to all who will listen! You made the trip even more enjoyable than it would have been anyway.

I loved your flexibility and willingness to adventure out and try new things and your attention to detail and wanting to make sure that the experience was a good one for everyone. You two are the best!! Thanks so much for an unforgettable week. Corinne

~ Jack Rosenbloom and Corinne Dugas, Massachusetts

Suzie and Roger,
We really want to thank you so very much - the organization, time and your dedication came through so seamlessly to us. You both have an amazing way about you. We keep talking about the group dynamics and how wonderful all the people were on this trip. Everyone seemed to get along and I was amazed how many people spoke so highly of all of your trips! I can see why now!

~ David and Marianne Gaio, Connecticut

~ Lisa Tempesta, UK

I would like to thank you and Roger for making both of my summer holidays; Holland Bike and Barge and Cape Cod, two very memorable and fun vacations!! Kevin has been telling everyone that the Holland Trip was the best trip of his life. You two are truly terrific people! Keep up your energy! Cheers-

~ Catherine Arpin, Canada

Suzie, The Cape Cod trip was just perfect - every bit as much fun as our Holland trip ( which was a dream vacation itself!). In fact, ALL of our trips with you and Roger have been dream vacations (we have done four now). I especially enjoy the out of the way places and routes (like the walking path through the woods on the way to Woods Hole). Dodi and I hope to do either California or Canada next year. Thanks again!

~ Greene and Dodi Lawson, Virginia

Suzie and Roger,
Karen and I wanted to thank you for the VIP treatment we received in Cape Cod. What a pleasure it has been traveling with you. Looking forward to chatting more about doing Holland with you next year!!!

~ Gina Garcia and Karen VanDerhoof, New Jersey

Dear Suzie and Roger, I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Oh Canada! tour. Cycling through cottage country and Algonquin Park gave me a completely new perspective on Ontario's north even though I've lived here all my life.

Our days in Quebec were a special treat--almost like a visit to another country. I enjoyed the tour, the cycling and the varied terrain and, perhaps most importantly for me, the fact that you somehow managed to cater beautifully to my very hard to accomodate dietary requirements.

~ Jane Davies, Ontario

Dear Suzie and Roger,

I want to thank you for another great trip, certainly a challenge for me and one I was able to enjoy largely because of the support and encouragement which is your trademark. By the time we got back to England, Barbara and I were already talking about next year's possibilities - we are not easily shaken off! Also you were so right about the hills.

The scenery was so pretty through the Czech Republic and we felt so good completing each day's ride. Roger happening along just as I was despairing of ever finding the tube's puncture point on that last day seemed like a minor miracle and somehow summed up what we've come to expect from a Bike and the Like holiday. Thanks again, until next time...

~ Anne Maher, England

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Oh Canada tour. It was truly a vacation for me as I had no worries knowing that you had taken care of all the details. Your choice of routes was excellent, always finding the most scenic and less traffic roads. We hope to be able to do another one of your tours in the near future.

~ Byron and Evelyn Morris, Georgia

Suzie and Roger- What a terrific week (in Rhode Island)! Loved every minute, the beautiful scenery and everyone on the trip. Thanks for great food, accommodations and routes. See you next year!

~ Lanae Valentine and Ann Lambert, Utah

Dear Suzie and Roger, I had a marvelous time! Holland is an amazing place to see, especially by bike! I enjoyed meeting so many wonderful, interesting, lively people on my boat as well. You both did such a great job organizing, planning routes and tour guiding. I really appreciate the little extras as well, like museums, parties, etc.

I'd like to come back and bring Bill and my daughter some day. I know you put a lot of time and energy into this trip and all your trips and just want to tell you how much I appreciate that. Hope to join you guys on some other trips in the future.

~ Kathy Norman, Missouri

Dear Suzie and Roger, We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip on the C and O canal. Beyond the obvioius, good food, good company and fantastic organization, there was something more to the trip that made it special. It was the accomplishment.

You were able to push us to do more than we thought we could do. We are now doing trips on our bikes that we would not have dreamed of doing. The training that was encouraged and the way it was encouraged got us to do the training and we enjoyed and benefited from it.

Looking forward to seeing you again.

~ Mal and Janice Dougherty, Massachusetts
