Support Staff
All tours feature experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive staff. We offer excellent client to
staff ratio, typically one staff to every 5 to 8 cyclists. All our staff are cyclists and know what you
need to achieve your goals.
Lodging
All cyclists will be housed in AAA rated hotels and motels. All overnight locations are chosen for
quality, comfort and cleanliness. Cyclists can choose the accomodation level they prefer: Economy Level
(triple); Preferred Choice (double); Privacy Level (single). (There is no Economy Level option for the
'Maine Foliage Tour' or the
'Fall Foliage Classic'). Single and double room occupancy is
always available. Please see our
pricing chart for rates.
Meals
Breakfast and dinner are provided daily (breakfast and lunch only on the
'Fast America' series).
Organized meals will be served in fine restaurants or hotel function rooms. Many meals are buffet style
fare. All meals are nutritionally balanced to provide the cyclist with sufficient fuel to conquer the
miles. Vegetarians are accommodated and welcomed.
Scheduled SAG Stops
Stops are provided at reasonable intervals throughout the cycling day (25-40 miles). These stops give the
cyclist an opportunity to rest and refuel with snacks, fresh fruit, water and sport drinks.
Mechanical Support
Provided in our exclusive rolling bike shop. Our mechanic is available in the morning before you depart,
throughout the day and each afternoon to repair, adjust and troubleshoot mechanical problems. (No hidden
repair charges.)
Support Vehicles
All tours have a superior ratio of support vehicles to cyclists. From luggage and equipment trucks to
mechanic and SAG vans, support vehicles are visible and on the route daily to provide assistance and
transportation. SAG vehicles are 15 passenger vans that have great capacity to transport cyclists, their
bicycles and gear. Support vans are equipped with a modern communication system.
Cycling Staff
Ride leaders are on the road on bicycles to assist with direction, repairs, encouragement or as ride
companions.
Luggage Transportation
Exclusive support team truck carries all your full-size baggage directly from motel to motel. This allows
you the freedom to only carry what you need for the day on the bike.
Route Rap
Daily route briefing, usually after dinner. Here, maps and cue sheets are distributed. Route issues,
weather, terrain and local sights are discussed.
Bicycles and Helmets
A well-tuned road or touring bike is our advice to riders, however, you may ride a tandem or recumbent if
you choose. All riders are required to wear a Snell approved helmet at all times when cycling.
No
exceptions!
Orientation and Reception
At the beginning of each tour, the
Ride Director will review the event in great detail from start
to conclusion. This will include an overview of the route, terrain, logistics, meals, safety, and much
more. You will learn what to expect and how the support works. This is immediately followed by a
welcoming reception.
