Talk to the people at your local bike shop. They probably know someone who is doing the ride!!!

Where are you coming from and what are you looking for in a group?

There are several teams looking for members if you would like to go with a team. For that matter my small team is not really looking for riders but if you can bring a friend who doesn’t want to ride but is comfortable driving a small motorhome for us we could make room for a couple more…. There are several charters at a wide range of price points if you would like a charter. I tent camped last year for the first time and went with the Riverbend Club Charter, one of the cheapest. You can get a lot more in the way of service and amenities if you pay a lot more but Riverbend did a great job at a great price so you don’t have to pay a lot to get a the peace of mind (for you and for those back home who might worry about you) that a good charter provides. Welcome aboard, you will love it! Good luck with crossing it off your bucket list however, it is famous for being quite addictive.
