Cross-Country Tours
Some do it for the challenge. Others to see the country, to get away from home, or to commemorate a 60th birthday. Some feel that cycling every mile is a requisite, while others just want to be able to bike when they want to. Whatever your reasons, you’ll probably meet other women with similar motives and goals.
We do not rent bicycles for our cross country tours. Everyone needs to bring her own bike that she knows fits perfectly and works properly. You spend a long time in the saddle – you need to know it’s comfortable. After you sign up, our series of Prep Talk newsletters discuss how to get your bike tour ready, or what to look for if buying a new one.
We recommend shipping or bringing your bike with you if you fly to the start of the tour. We help you pack your bike at the end of the tour to ship or bring back home with you. We provide more detailed information about packing and shipping your bike before the start of the tour.
Yes, some women have visitors during the tour. We ask that your guests make their own hotel reservations. We charge a fee of $25 per person if they wish to join us for dinner.
Our cross-country tours often fill up months in advance. The sooner you register, the sooner you are guaranteed a spot.
After you register, we send you a series of Prep Talk newsletters including training tips. We estimate that most women begin the tour wishing they were in better shape, but they’re all in the best shape of their lives when they finish!
It includes lodging, airport shuttles, all breakfasts, dinners and snacks on biking days, van support, cycling maps and cue sheets, trained guides, a WomanTours jersey and a water bottle. The tour price does not include lunches, meals on layover days, alcoholic beverages, personal expenses, air fare, or guide gratuities.
Yes, nearly all hotels offer wifi.
