Ending Your Cycling Season on a High Note
September is arriving, school is recommencing, the weather is moderating, and Adventure Cycling's 2013 Early, Epic, and Educational tours schedule has been announced. The late summer and early fall season is a great time to ride. Less traffic, cooler temperature, and fewer tourists. Why not end your 2012 cycling season with an awesome cycling trip on one of our few remaining tours this year?Inn-to-Inn
On our inn-to-inn self-contained trips, riders carry their gear, but there's a lot less of it because participants stay in hotels and eat in restaurants every night (no camping or group cooking gear needs to be carried).
Our van-supported tours, where all personal and group gear is transported by a vehicle each day, have 2 leaders and up to13 riders who camp most nights and share rotating cooking duties, akin to a self-contained trip but with the security and simplicity of van support. Tours are camping-based trips, with occasional indoor overnights.
Our fully-supported tours, where all personal and group gear is transported by a vehicle each day, have larger groups (typically between 40 and 90 riders) that camp together and enjoy catered meals. Fully-supported tours are camping-based trips, with occasional indoor overnights. Indoor lodging options are available at the participant's expense
