DO I NEED TO BE A STRONG CYCLIST TO ENJOY YOUR TOURS?
Not at all! We do not ride as a group but rather you ride with your friends or other people on tour with similar interests and energy. Some of our riders are experienced, but most are casual cyclists. By using SAG vehicles all rides could be shorter.

Yes, hybrid trek bikes & road bikes (and, if you wish, bring along your pedals or favorite bike seat, and we will put them on for you). Call us for information 1-800-727-9711.

Yes, but call us for information 1-800-727-9711.

DO I NEED A PASSPORT TO TRAVEL TO CANADA?
We highly recommend that you have a passport.
By Summer 2008, the U.S. State Department and Department of Homeland Security plan on implementing the full requirements of the land/sea phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). The precise date of this implementation will be announced with at least 60 days notice.

Basically, by the time a passport is required to travel to Canada by land (expected Summer 2008) you may only have 60 days to get one, if you don't already have one.

For more information about passport and travel requirements visit the Dept. of Homeland Security WHTI Information Page.

To apply for a passport visit the U.S. State Department's Website or call the U.S. National Passport Information Center at: (877) 4USA-PPT.

Here is information on how to rush your passport application.

Refund requests must be made in writing if you are unable to make the tour for any reason. There are no exceptions to the refund policy. At any time, you may locate a substitute rider and submit his/her completed registration and waiver with letter of explanation, to avoid the cancellation charges.
