THE FOOD

All breakfasts and lunches, plus four camp dinners and three group nights out in the Santa Ynez Valley, a culinary destination as serious as the cycling.

Payment Processing Fees

Insurance

Travel insurance is a simple way to protect your trip in case something unexpected comes up before or during camp, such as a schedule change, minor illness, or travel delay. While most trips go exactly as planned, having coverage in place gives you flexibility and peace of mind. We strongly recommend securing travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. Our preferred provider is SquareMouth Insurance, which offers straightforward coverage options designed for active travelers, including trip protection and medical support while traveling.

Guide Gratuities

​Guide gratuities are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. We suggest a tip for your guides between 5-10% of your trip cost per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience. Gratuities can be paid in cash or online, and will be divided among the guide team.

TRAVEL

GETTING THERE AND SETTLING IN.

AIRPORT

The closest airport to Solvang is the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), about a 45-minute drive from the camp hotel. The Los Angeles airport (LAX) is 2.5-3 hours from Solvang.

Group arrival shuttles from the Santa Barbara Airport are available at the following times:

  • Sunday, 11:00 a.m.

  • Sunday, 3:00 p.m.

Group departure shuttles to the Santa Barbara airport are available at the following times:

  • Saturday, leaving the hotel at 6:00 a.m.

  • Saturday, leaving the hotel at 9:00 a.m.

  • Saturday, leaving the hotel at 11:00 a.m.

​​

If your flight itinerary doesn't allow you to take a group shuttle, it's super simple to hire a taxi or Uber at the airport or book one ahead of time, and there are lots of rental cars available if you'd like to have four wheels available throughout your trip in addition to two. 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Even with the best possible planning, there are always elements beyond our control like flight delays, illnesses, and family emergencies. A good travel insurance policy will reduce the stress of these situations by covering most (if not all) of their extra cost. We strongly recommend coverage specific to COVID-19. 

TRAVEL SUPPORT

We're happy to help with travel support and any questions you might have. Contact us for travel support and let us help you make the best travel arrangements possible.
