VITAL STUFF
MONEY
The total price of this trip is $3899 per person. At this time we only need a $500 deposit to hold your spot on this very popular ride.
By the way, here's what our friendly competitors charges for a similar trip. We give you two more days... for $200 - $600 less!
(Are we going to boast? We are not.)
Not to worry -- you have 14 days from the time you register to cancel without penalty. You get back that entire $500.
Complete info on what's included and what isn't can be found here, but basically everything is covered except airfare and your poolside bar tab. (See, some of you will probably have just one drink, and some of you may have...uh... more than one drink, so to keep it fair for everyone...)
HOTEL PREFERENCES
The price of the ride is based on two people per hotel room. Please list below the name of the person who will be your roommate.
If you want us to 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 $500 deposit.
If you want a private room each night just for yourself it costs $650 extra for the entire trip. Just write, "Private Room" in the space below and we will bill you accordingly. (We don't profit from that $650 private-room fee. We just give it to the hotel where we stay).
BEDS
If you are taking a hotel room for yourself, the room will have one king or queen bed.
If you are sharing a room with another person, you have a choice of one bed or two beds.
What do you prefer?
Tell us about any special meal needs and we'll do our very best for you! Check all that apply.
COVID
At this writing (summer 2023) the COVID situation is MUCH better.
Masks are not required on this trip..
We are sure to have some folks who want to mask and some folks who don't and we're all going to respect those personal choices.
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...
Please note that non-cyclists pay the same price as people riding bikes.
Yes, even if they're "just coming along for one dinner."
We DO hear from people on the trip who say, "I'm not going to dinner with you guys tonight -- my friend is in town and we're going somewhere else to eat. See you in the morning." That works for us!
CANCELLATION POLICY
Need to Cancel Right Away?
You have 14 days from the time you register to cancel without penalty. You get back that entire $500.
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 online registration you'll be charged a $500 deposit on your credit card.
We'll send you an invoice for the balance due. A second payment of $1,000 per person is due 30 days after you register. Final payment is due 30 days before the trip begins.
Discount! We welcome payments by check or credit card for your balance -- your choice. If you pay your entire balance by check, Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle -- all at once or in several payments -- we will subtract $75 per person from your bill. (Please contact us first before using any of these electronic payment methods).
We need at least 20 people signed up for this trip to make it work. If we have fewer than 20 I lose a lot of money, and once when I wasn't paying attention my accountant said something about losing money being very bad.
Reservations usually come in apace, but If we get to October 15th and we haven't sold enough slots, we'll cancel the trip, notify you, and IMMEDIATELY refund 100% of what you've paid. Your cost is zero.
All this a long-winded way to say that if you are one of the first to sign-up we appreciate it, but I wouldn't dash out and purchase trip cancellation insurance or book a non-refundable airfare just yet until we confirm with you on October 15th or earlier.
