Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dates of the 2025 Tour?
July 13 – 18, 2025. We gather on the late afternoon and evening of July 12.
What are the costs for the 2025 Tour?
Entry fee is $300. Meal plan costs are yet to be finalized.
What if I need to cancel my entry?
Cancellations are allowed, minus a $50 cancellation fee, up to June 12 with the refund by mailed check. The refund does not include registration processing fees or costs for the Race Roster vendor insurance. There are NO REFUNDS after that date unless you purchase the extra insurance through Race Roster at registration. Please don’t ask for an exception since this deadline applies no matter what the reason may be for the cancellation.
Is there long term parking during the Tour?
Yes. Free parking will be available for the dates of the tour. Location will be announced once it is finalized.
How much luggage can I bring?
Luggage weight is limited to 50 pounds if you have one piece, or no more than 40 pounds if you have two. YOU load your luggage and also get it to and from the luggage truck from your camping location each day. Soft luggage works best for truck packing and unloading purposes.
Can I ride an ebike?
Pedal assist (Class I or III) E-bikes are allowed on the Tour de Wyoming for those individuals who have a need based on age or a health condition. The focus on the Tour de Wyoming is getting from Point A to Point B under our own power. E-bikes are great way for all of us to keep pedaling as we get older and need a little assistance. Those who want to ride them for other reasons should find a different tour. All riders should be experienced in proper bicycle etiquette. Due to the weight of an e-bike, not all SAG vehicles will be able to provide assistance, should the need arise.
Can I wear earbuds or other listening devices when I ride?
No. You need to be able to hear traffic and other cyclists. Enjoy the sound of nature!
How many riders are in the Tour?
We limit the ride to 250 cyclists. We hold a free drawing in February with riders winning or losing a slot for the event. Those who are unsuccessful are automatically put on the wait list.
Can a friend or family join me and tag along in a vehicle?
Yes. We allow non-riders on the Tour. Riders can purchase extra meal plans if needed. If non-riders join us in at our overnight locations, there is a $50 non-rider fee to cover overnight location fees.
Is there mechanical support during the Tour?
Yes! Be sure your bike is tuned and ready to go BEFORE you come on the Tour. Bike mechanics will be available at our overnight locations. During the day, it is important that you are equipped to repair your own flats. Carry a tube, repair kit and pump on your bike. The mechanics are available for major repair at the end destination. All repairs are paid by each rider.
What overnight facilities are provided?
The Tour provides outdoor camping at all locations, and limited indoor camping (only for those who sign up for the indoor option due to limited space). Motels are available at all overnight locations, but must be arranged by the rider. The rider is also responsible for getting to and from their accommodations on their own (bring a daypack and bike there, leaving your big bag on the luggage truck – at the permission of the luggage truck driver).
Can I get a massage during the Tour?
Yes! Pamper yourself and enjoy a massage with Kathy Milks who has been joining the tour since forever. More info available closer to the ride.
Can I ship my bike ahead of time?
Yes. Details coming soon.
