Where will we be staying overnight? We'll be camping in small towns along the way. Sometimes we camp at schools (alcohol & smoke free zones in NY State, please respect that) and sometime we camp in community centers or village parks.
Do I need my own tent?Yes, unless you have a friend who has one. Some of the schools we stay in allow overnight sleeping if you're too tired to put up your tent, but we don't have that option every night. So best to plan on bringing your tent. If you don't like to camp, there are a limited number of hotel rooms available each night ? click here for hotel info. UPDATE: REI rents tents. Check out their store locator. They'll even ship!
How will I get my tent and luggage from town to town?The registration fee helps cover pleasant van drivers that will drive your gear from town to town.
Will my tent be set up when I arrive each night?They're not that pleasant.
How many will be on this ride?Don't know yet, but we only have room for 200. It’s a perfect sized group to be able to make new riding buddies, but the shower lines are still short. Tell your friends to sign up early so they don't get left out of the fun. Be the very first person ever from your state to sign-up, and save 10%. Check out our map.
