There will not be any mid-route stops as part of any
transportation service.
Transportation of People
At this time, we do not anticipate having
enough participants to justify hiring a charter bus for any transportation
service. Therefore participants and their baggage will primarily be transported
aboard existing busses and trains (Amtrak, Greyhound, MegaBus, etc.) serving
the stopping towns except where otherwise noted.
In addition, because no bus or train schedule departs the ending town
after 8:30 pm (the route closing time) the day of the ride, all
transportation services after the end of event will depart the day after
the ride and not immediately after the end of the ride that day. You
will need to
secure lodging in the ending town the night of the ride, possibly at the
supported hotel.

Bicycle Transportation
All transportation services include transportation for your bicycle
because no bus or train also allows passengers to carry
an unboxed, fully assembled bicycle aboard except for a limited number
of Amtrak trains.
Because our vehicles will arrive before all busses and trains your
bicycle will be ready to pick up immediately after you arrive.

Baggage Transportation
When participants travel aboard a bus or train, they will carry
their baggage with them - we will not transport
it on a separate vehicle. When participants travel aboard our
vehicles we will transport their baggage ourselves.
