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 $200. 


COVID

We have intentionally designed this trip to make it as safe as possible during the COVID outbreak.  (That's why we're doing a camping trip now -- we are all outside and not packed together, driving around in vans!) Should things take a turn for the worse and it is not safe to travel we will cancel the trip and refund ALL of your money.


PAYMENTS

You'll be charged a $200 deposit on your credit card.

The balance is not due until June 1, 2021.

We'll send you an invoice for the balance.

Not Included

Transportation to the Pittsburgh start line, and back to NYC at the end of the trip. We strongly recommend that you take Amtrak. Complete details here. Estimated cost -- about $70 each way.

If you take Amtrak to Pittsburgh you will arrive on the evening before we start pedaling. You will need somewhere to stay overnight -- details here.  Estimated cost -- about $120 per room (NOT per person).  

Camping gear.  If you have your own that's great; if not it is easily rented online.  Details here.






Getting Home from the Ride

The ride starts in Pittsburgh and ends about a hundred miles away. We will transport you from the finish line for free to the nearby Amtrak station in rockin' Johnstown, PA for the trip back to Manhattan.

If you really REALLY want to be transported from the finish line back to where we began the ride in Pittsburgh we are happy to oblige -- we will have a van driving there at the end of the ride on July 20th, with arrival in Pittsburgh at ABOUT 10:30 a.m.

Please note that this return transport to Pittsburgh is limited -- please sign up for it now if you want it.


MEALS

 

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




When we get closer to ride day we send out emails with all the stuff you need to know -- where to show up, when... The only problem is that we find that -- at best -- 70 percent of the riders actually read that stuff!

No problem-o! Everything you need to know is right here on the Quick Start section of our website.

SO... raise your right hand and repeat after me:

"Being a smart and totally awesome person, I promise to either:

A) Read the emails when they get sent out (and make sure they're not in my spam filter).

B) Skip the emails but read the Quick Start guide.

C) Use my psychic powers to know what to do.

D) Not send an email to Glen at 1 a.m. on ride day marked URGENT -- WHAT TIME DO I SHOW UP? WHERE'S THE START LINE?
