Hi Lisa - I was also planning my 2009 trip(s). I had been looking at Spain, then Portugal, then Africa, then Costa Rica. I want to ride somewhere with folks that are at least intermediate riders. If you get further information about a group forming, let me know - or tell them I am interested in any 2009 trip! I am female, been riding regularly for 30 years or more but mostly on weekends. Now I want full days of riding over at least a week's time. Please keep in touch.
Marlene.
