Answer 10- We recommend that you DO send your bike ahead if you are flying in or have complicated travel arrangements. This will save both money, possible frustration, and make it easier to make any last minute travel/flight changes.

It is less expensive to ship your bike by UPS or FedEx than to check it as baggage on a flight. If your connecting flight gets cancelled or delayed this can also create problems.

Answer 12- A “non-rider” is some one that is accompanying someone on the trip but does not wish to ride their bike to get from stop to stop. This person needs to provide their own transportation and is not supported during the day’s ride. However they eat, camp, etc. with the group.
