Having trouble deciding just which of our amazing 2012 tours is right for you? A bit confused by all the tour types, and wondering what exactly they all mean? Let our tours department limericks help clear it up for you!
Our self-contained tours include
Not a van over which to brood
Your own gear you'll carry
The group will be merry
On our glorious self-contained tours.
On a self-contained tour, you carry your own gear. Traditional self-contained tours have around 14 participants who share cooking duties and camp for the vast majority of overnights.
On our inn-to-inn tours you'll see
All the sights, but no camping will be
A part of the journey
The pace is no tourney
You can even stop to get tea!
On inn-to-inn self-contained trips, riders carry their gear, but there?s a lot less of it because participants stay in hotels and eat in restaurants every night (no camping or group cooking gear needs to be carried).
Let us carry your load for you when
Our van-supported tours you attend
Whether coast to coast
Or weeklong, you'll toast
The tour which gave you such zen.
Van-supported tours have an average of 13 riders who camp on most nights and share rotating cooking duties, akin to a self-contained trip but with the security of van support and luggage transport.
Our fully-supported tours will give you
Absolutely nothing about which to feel blue
Take the awesome group
Or the catering troop
Happiness is in everything you'll do!
Fully-supported tours are larger groups (typically between 40 and 120 riders), who camp together and enjoy catered meals. All personal and group gear is carried for you each day, and you have the added luxury of SAG support.
Do you have some little tykes
Who love to ride on their bikes?
Our family fun trips
You will not want to skip
For a week the whole family will like!
Family Fun tours operate in largely the same way as our fully-supported tours, but with shorter daily distances and more activities aimed at making sure all family members, ages 8 to 98, have a great touring experience.
Our education tours are quite fun
And oh my but you'll learn a ton
Touring or leading
At the end you'll be ceding
Adventure Cycling's courses are really top gun!
We have two different types of Education Courses:
Our Introduction to Road Touring courses will introduce you to the basics of self-contained road travel.
Our Leadership Training Courses (LTC) are designed to teach the fundamentals of leading a self-contained bicycle tour. All Adventure Cycling tour leaders have taken one of these three-day courses.
