Cycling Hours -- (except for the last day) are from 6:30am to 7:00pm. Each Rest Stop will have specific hours of operation each day. Roadie teams will also start "sweeping" the route each evening at approximately 6:30pm; if we're past the lunch stop and they judge that we won’t make it to camp before dark, they'll pick us up and bring you into camp.
Route Support -- includes rest stops with food, drinks, bike mechanics, medical support and toilet facilities at frequent intervals, a lunch stop at about mid-day, and sweep vehicles throughout the route (in case we really need to be picked up).
Medical Team -- a full-service medical team will be available on the route, at rest stops and at camp to take care of whatever is aching.
Weather -- California in June is pretty reliable, but we will ride in any weather, so we will be prepared for heat, cold, and wet. In extreme cases we may make the decision to be "Storm Bound" for safety's sake -- evacuation sites will have been prearranged and we'll be bussed there until the weather clears.
Tents -- will be supplied. We can choose our own tent mate or the ALC will assign one to us -- yes, we have to share – We will need to learn how to set them up and take them down, but the ALC staff will teach us how to do it and they will carry them during the day.
Gear – we will be limited to one 70-pound gear bag, including our sleeping bag.
Food – we will be served a hot breakfast and dinner daily in camp, plus a bagged lunch and plenty of snacks.
Showers & Wash-Up Facilities -- all camps will have separate men's & women's showers (hot ones!) and sink/mirror areas for washing up & brushing your teeth. There will also be plenty of clean toilet facilities -- got to love those porta potties.
Cycle Parking -- Cycle parking areas are safe and overnight security is provided -- no bike locks will be needed.
Entertainment -- will be provided each night (but we can't rule out karaoke, skits, or charades!) Spontaneous singing on the hills while riding is greatly encouraged and appreciated!!
