Mid-Route
Stops
Locations • Coordinating
With Long Distance Public Transportation Carriers
Mid-route
pick ups (before the start) and drops offs (after the end) on the transportation
route may be available as part of our regular transportation
services. All
mid-route stops must be scheduled in advance, and not all transportation
services will have mid-route stops.
If you do both a mid-route
pick up AND drop off you will need to pay
for two separate transportation services both before the
start and after the end of the event. Unfortunately we cannot offer
you a discount
if you take both
transportation
services because we have the same costs
regardless of where your initial arrival or final departure spot is and we
will not be able to fill the space
for your bike and baggage
with someone else's.
Locations
Mid-route pick ups and drop offs will be done
at only one predesignated location for each stopping
town. Preferably, this location will be very close
to our main transportation route so we can quickly get
off and back onto the highway, such as at a gas station
at an interstate
exit with lots of lunch options so participants can get lunch
and we can also fill up our vehicles with gas while we are
stopped. Doing
so helps
save
time and ensure
a
timely arrival in the arrival town.
Specific information about the mid-route stop locations for each specific
transportation service will be listed under the specific information for
that transportation service.
Coordinating
With Public Transportation Carriers
When participants travel aboard a separate public transportation
carrier, we will arrive at the pick up location before the bus or train and
at the drop
off location
after the bus or train arrives. That way we can deliver your
items to you directly and they are never left unattended. Only stopping at
predesignated locations also helps ensure that we will arrive well
before the train or bus does for mid-route pick ups or shortly after the
train or does bus for mid-route drop offs.
If we need to stop at any mid-route drop off locations, we will always arrive
at the arrival town after the bus or train does because we have to stop at
the mid-route drop off location after the bus or train has already arrived
there.

How to
Meet Us for a Mid-Route Pick Up
Arrive at the pick up location with your bicycle and baggage
and wait for us to arrive. After we arrive we will load your
items onto our
vehicles and you will need to go the bus or train
station in that town and board the bus or train
when
it arrives. If you drove you will park at the parking location
for that town, otherwise you will need to arrange to be dropped
off. How to Meet Us for a Mid-Route Drop Off
After the bus or train
arrives, pick up your car if you
parked it in that town, otherwise you will need to arrange
to be picked up. Go to the
drop off location and wait for us to arrive and unload your items from our
vehicles. |
