Miami to Key West

February 24 - 28, 2019

Vital Stuff

MONEY

The total price of this trip is $2,500 per person. At this time we need a $275 deposit to hold your spot on this popular ride.

Complete info on what's included and what isn't can be found here, but basically everything is covered except air fare. Transport for your bike to the ride and back again is free if you're traveling from:

New York City

Philadelphia

Baltimore

Washington, D.C.

Richmond, VA

Traveling from another location? We can help -- just let us know.

That price is baed on two people per hotel room.  If you want a room for yourself it's an extra $600. (We don't earn anything from that $600 fee -- it just covers the rest of the hotel tab for your room each night).


CANCELLATION POLICY

Need to Cancel Right Away?

Not to worry -- you have 14 days from the time you register to cancel without penalty. You get back that entire $275. 


If You Cancel between 15 and 30 Days

You will have a $275 credit with us, which you can use for any of our events until the end of the 2020 ride season.


If You Cancel After 30 Days

After 30 days we are unable to offer credits or refunds for any reason. You can sell your spot on your own if you wish. If you're worried that you might not be able to make the trip, we strongly recommend...


TRIP INSURANCE

Trip insurance is available from Travel Guard, and covers you if you can't make the trip, or get sick in the middle of the event.  You can read all about it and get a free quote here.  No sales call; no hard sell.

The insurance costs about 10% - 15% of the price of the trip, depending on which options you pick.

If you decide to buy trip insurance we recommend that you sign up for the trip first, BEFORE you buy coverage. (It's just easier that way). Trip insurance questions? Happy to assist -- just contact us.


PAYMENTS

At the end of this on-line registration you'll be charged a $275 deposit on your credit card.

The balance of the payment for your trip is due by check.

 

An additional $1,000 per person is due within 30 days after the trip is confirmed (see below).

The final balance is due no later than February 1, 2019.

We'll send you an invoice as a friendly reminder when checks are due.

HOTEL PREFERENCES

The price of the ride is based on two people per hotel room.  Please list below the name of the person you will be sharing with.  

If you want us to help you find a roommate of the same gender as you, we're happy to help. Please enter Find Me a Roommate in the space below. We've had quite a few requests from both men and women looking for roommates, so join us! 

If it turns out that we can't find you a roommate in a sane amount of time we will refund all of your $275 deposit. 

If you want a private room each night for yourself it costs $600 extra for the entire trip.  Just write, "Private Room" in the space below and we will bill you accordingly. (We don't earn anything from that extra fee -- it just covers the rest of the cost for your hotel rooms).


Hotel rooms have one queen or king bed. If you prefer a room with two beds please let us know here.

GETTING YOUR BIKE TO AND FROM THE RIDE


We offer free transportation for your bike to Miami, and from the end of the ride (Key West) back. No disassembly, no packing.  The bike pick-up locations are in:

New York City

Philadelphia

Baltimore

Washington, D.C.

RIchmond

If that doesn't work for you let us know and we'll help you with packing and shipping -- not a problem.

SO... how do you THINK you're transporting your bike? We understand that things can change, but this gives us a rough idea so we can best plan for you.


YOUR BIKE RIDING STYLE

Most days we'll offer a longer route and a shorter route. What's your preference? 

You are NOT bound by this answer -- you can change your mind any time you want, even on ride day, without notifying us in advance.

We're asking here just so we can ESTIMATE how many people to expect where and when.

MEALS

 

Tell us about any special meal needs and we'll do our very best for you! Check all that apply.

Non-Pedaling Friends, Spouses, Siblings, Sweeties...

We often hear from wonderful cyclists who say, "My companion does not pedal but they want to come along anyway -- is that OK?"

Sure!

We think they'll enjoy the great meals, the nice people, the sun and swimming, being with you...

Some non-cyclists rent their own car out of Miami for the trip; others catch a ride with us each day to the next town. 

We are happy to transport folks in our vehicles, and we'll get them to the next city on the itinerary as fast as we can, but please understand that our core duty is to the cyclists. So if we are stopping to get ice for cyclists or transport their luggage, that is going to be the top priority -- passengers may be delayed just a bit while we tend to our cycling chores.


Please note that non-cyclists pay the same price as people riding bikes. 

Why?

Because 99% of the cost of this trip is hotel rooms, meals, and vans to take everyone to dinner. That stuff costs us the same whether our wonderful guests enjoy bike riding or not.
