New riders and new to the club riders are always welcome to our tours and meetings! Please contact the Tour Captain with any questions. The normal way things go is we meet for breakfast an hour before the tour departure (if you are one of the first ones to arrive, please try to sit where ~10 of us can be together) and then we start each ride with a meeting to go over some essential rules of the road and distribute maps. We review how to ride on highways, single lane roads and keeping an eye on the person behind you. While we might get spread out after a while, it is important to wait for the person behind you when we are at a stop sign or light. Please be ready with a full tank of gas.

We’ll stop for gas, breaks and lunch during the day. We hope to be at our destination before 4 PM, give or take an hour. If you’re not into tent camping, feel free to check for local motels.

Please contact the Tour Captain, Peter Carrie at pcarrie@ecoenergies with any questions.
