Upon signing up for a tour, you will receive confirmation and preparatory materials, including a Before You Go booklet that contains a packing list and training tips. About 60 days prior to your trip, you will receive a Tour Information Packet with specific details about your starting location, official bike shop, travel tips, and much more.

The main thing you need to do for our Events is be ready to ride! These are camping-based trips, but in most cases indoor lodging options are available nightly. Price includes:

• Catered meals and rest stops, beginning with dinner on Day 1 and ending with lunch on the final day.
• Camping and shower fees for each night of the trip.
• Luggage, mechanical, and SAG support vehicles.
• Maps, route markings, T-shirt, and safety triangle.

Meals: Our catering staff provides all meals, and rest stops will be located approximately every 25 miles. You'll start each day with a tasty and varied hot breakfast, followed by a mid-morning rest stop to fuel you on to lunch. Another rest stop awaits you mid-afternoon, with more drinks and snacks such as fruit, cookies, and energy bars. You'll be rewarded each evening with a sumptuous dinner. Vegetarian and special dietary needs will be addressed, though food selection may be limited in some locations.

Lodging: Campsites range from private campgrounds to state parks to school athletic fields. Overnight facilities vary, but tents are typically pitched on large, flat, grassy areas. Bathrooms and showers are generally available. If access to indoor facilities is unavailable or insufficient, we may supplement the facilities with portable toilets and/or a shower truck. Events are designed to be camping trips, although motel options are available, at participants' expense, on most days. A list of indoor accommodations is provided 60 days before trip departure and participants must make their own arrangements for indoor lodgings. During the tour, we transport luggage to and from motels daily. In most cases, motels will be located within a few miles of the official campsite.

Sag Support: You should come to the tour physically prepared to ride the entire route. Support vehicles roam the route, but are typically available for use in medical and/or mechanical emergencies only.

Mechanical Support: An experienced mechanic follows the route every day in a support vehicle to take care of mechanical emergencies. The mechanic will also be available each evening at the camping location. The support vehicle carries a supply of tires, tubes, and spare parts, but you should come prepared with at least two spare tubes to fit your tires, a pump, and a patch kit.

Our supported trips come in a variety of flavors, offering different levels of food and overnight accommodations to suit a variety of cycling preferences. Please check individual trip descriptions for specifics. Price includes:

• Meals — Catered meals, restaurant meals, group cooking, or a combination of these.
• Overnight lodging — Camping, motels, or a combination.
• Luggage support.
• Leader and leader expenses.
• Maps or cue sheets, T-shirt, and a safety triangle.
