We did tot the riding up for the week:
164km with 1922m climbing and 13067m descending. They use a good mini bus, the trailer was very easy to load and unload. The longer van trips were typically first thing in the morning, uplifts during the day were quite short and descents could take a while. Most of the drives were on tarmac, a relatively short time on a rough track.
