Adventure Cycling Association is an equal opportunity recreation provider.
If you have funds that were deferred from a previous tour, they are now able to be used when you register for your tour online. To access your funds YOU MUST LOG IN TO YOUR MY ADVENTURE CYCLING ACCOUNT with the email you have on your account. If you do not log in, your Tour Credits will not automatically be applied, and your credit card will get charged.
Adventure Cycling is a non-profit organization. We’d like to thank you for joining our tour. Your participation will be more than a fun bike trip, and your support goes on to sustain our mission to inspire, empower and connect people to travel by bicycle.
By signing up for one of our tours you are doing so with the understanding that you will be a positive contributor to the success and enjoyment of the tour. For most of our tours (the exceptions being Fully Supported Events and Inn to Inn trips), participants will have a shared responsibility for certain tasks such as being a part of a cooking rotation. Our unique way of running our small group trips can build a group cohesion that makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Our tours are made special by our participants. We thank you for making them so successful. More information on shared cooking can be found in this FAQ.
A deposit is required to complete your registration for a tour. Tour deposits are $200 per person for tours less than 30 days in length and $700 per person for tours 30 days in length or longer. No deposit is required to sign up for a waitlist.
Payment Schedule: A deposit is due upon your tour registration. Final tour payment is due 90 days prior to tour departure.
Payments for Additional Services: Payments for additional optional services such as special activity fees, transportation fees, and single supplements are due in full at time of participant request. The funds paid for these services follow the cancellation policies below and are part of your total tour funds paid. Please note: additional optional services may be limited and not available on all tours.
Late Payments: If full tour payment has not been received 67 days before the tour departure, and we have not heard from you via phone or email about your full tour payment, your spot on the tour will be canceled and all funds previously paid will be forfeited.
If you must cancel your trip reservation for any reason, it is your responsibility to notify Adventure Cycling Association immediately through your My Adventure Cycling Account, in writing via email to tours@adventurecycling.org or via U.S. mail. Sorry, but we cannot accept cancellations or transfer requests via the phone.
Should you choose to cancel or transfer your tour registration:

Transferred funds expire one calendar year after the original tour’s start date. For example, if your tour was scheduled to start in 2023, your funds need to be used on a tour that departs prior to December 31, 2024. If you decide to transfer your registration, but at the time do not know which tour you’d like to transfer the funds to, we will hold your funds as a Tour Credit on your account to be applied at a later date.
Adventure Cycling reserves the right to cancel and combine trips, and will make the determination if a tour will run between 60 and 45 days prior to tour departure. We may cancel a tour at any time due, but not limited to: low signups, health and safety concerns, travel restrictions, or natural disaster.
