PLEASE NOTE:

In the variety of remote locations we operate in, most of our accommodation partners do not have uniform sleeping arrangements. Please understand that the sleeping arrangements will not be identical.

To solve this logistical problem, we assign sleeping arrangements based on a first come, first serve basis, while offer consideration for any special needs (CPAP, physical size, age, blindness, etc.) that may need to be accommodated.

Expect double occupancy unless otherwise stated.  You could be in luxury accomodations or living in squalor. Glamping, camping, or spooning may be on the menu. We peddle adventure and adventure is never perfect.

Everyone snores. Earplugs, sleeping aids and an open mind solve 99.9% of accommodation issues. We will do our best to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible.

If you have concerns, please contact us before registering.

In the past, many riders wanted an extra jersey for themselves, their spouse, or their children. Extra jerseys are $65 and this will be your only opportunity to purchase one. Would you like an extra jersey?

Medical Information

Is there any medical information to be aware of should you be injured and unable to communicate?

TRAVEL INSURANCE

We STRONGLY recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance upon booking. Please note that most insurance providers will offer the most comprehensive insurance if you purchase trip insurance immediately after paying for your trip. A delay in purchasing insurance may leave you with a less desirable insurance policy that offers less coverage.

In case of emergency, please contact the following people, in this order:

Upon submission, a full packing list will be sent.

We believe strongly that excess information spoils the adventure.

We will not be providing a complete itinerary of each day, nor will we offer the thread count of the linen. Rest assured, we have curated an amazing adventure with people and experiences that you will remember till your last days*.

That said, there should be limited wifi and cell service available.

*last days may include ingestion by Canadian wildlife.

** we were joking about the fake receipt, you are doomed.
