Great experience, need to focus on accommodation needs
Rail Explorers: Amador CA Division的点评
点评:This was the 2nd time we've done a similar experience, and the first time was so much fun we brought 4 other family members! The Amador Rail Explorers was great. The views were fantastic (even better than the one that we did before). Can't recommend it enough!
The only recommendation I have is for more instruction for (and interest in) those who may need accommodation. At the turnaround point there are 10 steps (in the hillside) to walk up with no hand rails and no options for the 20 minute stop other than to walk up those steps or stand right by the bikes (because they turned the bikes around, staying on them was not an option) . Then, there's a long walk on uneven ground after the break to get back to the bikes. It was a challenge for my mother, and no interest was shown in her situation.
We parked in the handicapped spot for my 87 year old mother, which could have been a signal to the staff to notify of us of what to expect. However, no one noticed or talked about what would be required at the turnaround point. We could have been prepared or talked with them about accommodation if they had mentioned it. When the rider doesn't know what to expect, there's not much we can do. Since there were others of us with her we were able to hold and guide her, however it was very tiring and stressful for her. Hoping to share our experience so that the employees are alerted to those who need accommodation, and so that other riders will benefit and be able to go on and enjoy this FANTASTIC experience!!!
翻译:这是我们第二次体验类似的活动,第一次玩得太开心了,所以我们又带了四位家人一起来!阿马多尔铁路探险之旅非常棒,沿途风景美极了(甚至比我们上次体验的还要好)。强烈推荐!
我唯一的建议是,希望工作人员能为需要特殊照顾的游客提供更多指导和帮助。在折返点,有十级台阶(在山坡上),没有扶手,而且在20分钟的停留期间,除了走上台阶或站在自行车旁边(因为他们把自行车调了方向,所以不能站在车上)之外,没有其他选择。休息结束后,还要走很长一段崎岖不平的路才能回到自行车旁。这对我母亲来说是个挑战,而且工作人员似乎并没有考虑到她的情况。
我们把车停在了残疾人专用车位,这或许可以提醒工作人员告知我们接下来的行程安排。然而,没有人注意到或提及在折返点需要什么。如果他们事先提到,我们就可以做好准备或与他们商量住宿事宜。当骑手不知道会发生什么时,我们能做的实在有限。由于我们还有其他人陪同,所以能够扶住她并引导她,但这对她来说非常疲惫和紧张。希望分享我们的经历,以便工作人员能够注意到需要住宿的骑手,也希望其他骑手能够受益,继续享受这段精彩的旅程!
