We have been on several similar trips in Wisconsin and RAGBRAI. Nothing where they provide your meals. That would be nice.
bikechick... it was an awesome trip, I absolutely loved every part of it. If you look at cycle america's website, they have alot of them throughout the summer. If you have the time and cash, you should consider it, it's a wonderful experience and the best part about it... is that I felt safe the entire trip... which was very important for me. I never felt "alone" on the road even though in Canada and parts of Montana... we were on VERY long stretch of mountain roads with hardly any cars ever. The SAG vehicles drive by occassionally letting you know they are there, and there is always a sweeper rider at the end of the line who is riding behind all the riders. You sign in at breakfast, lunch, and dinner... so they make sure you are still with the pack and they lose no one... it was great.

This particular trip there were about 50 riders. I went the 3rd week in July. Flew to Kalispell, MT... and we rode from there up through Canada and back down through Glacier National Park and rode up to Logan's Pass (also known as Going To The Sun Road)... it was amazing. Then you eventually bike back to Kalispell, and Cycle America takes you to the airport and you fly home. They ship your bike back for you.

It's awesome. CA does all the work except for your riding, LOL!! They have a mechanic on site so if anything happens to your bike, they will fix it.

You camp either in camping grounds or high school football yards and have access to a shower every night. Breakfast and dinner were usually inside at a building or restaurant nearby, and lunch they provided on the road. They set up lunch on the side of the road buffet style... always half way through your ride for the day.

You should check them out. Check out their website... if you have any other questions, let me know.
