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. Pursuing a claim through them is on your own. 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 at the Riverton Middle School.
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. Riders can form a team for the drawing so that all members either win or lose a slot together. Group size is 6 and applies only to the drawing. There are no formal teams or groups for the ride itself.
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! John Berry of Berry Fast Bicycles out of Madison, SD, will join us again with his bike shop on wheels.
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 tent camping at all locations, and limited indoor camping (only for those who sign up for the indoor option due to limited space). Indoor camping is at a nearby church for both Lander and Dubois, but at the Middle School in Riverton. 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).
Are there any designated motels on the route?
We have arranged for 15 ground-floor rooms to be on hold in Dubois at the Stagecoach Inn and Suites. When calling, let them know you are with the Tour de Wyoming for the discount ($171 per room per night versus $190 regularly). Deadline is July 1. We have no rooms set aside at Lander or Riverton.
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.
