(General Information:)
All our trips are designed for the intermediate rider or enthusiastic beginner, and we offer van support and route extensions so we can accommodate all cycling abilities. Each day you'll have several riding distances from which
to choose.
Whether you're looking for a leisurely excursion or a heart-pumping, leg-burning workout, come enjoy exploring California's beautiful country roads. We have a fleet of Trek hybrid bikes that are available for rent, if you'd rather not bring your own. All our bikes are fully equipped, have 21 - 24 speeds and comfortable seats. Rentals are $40 for a weekend excursion and $100 for our 5 & 6 day trips.
On the trips where we offer kayaking, expert kayak leaders from Blue Waters Kayaking will teach you all you need to know. No previous kayaking experience is necessary, just bring a spirit of fun and adventure.
As an added luxury, when we have enough interest, a certified massage therapist joins us
on the trip and offers massage for $30/half hour. We set up a large private tent and put out a sign up sheet -- it's quite a treat.
"Jill and Joe: We all had a great time on our first trip with Country Spokes. Even Melinda, who was a bit leery going into the weekend, had a wonderful time. Something to keep in mind for your future success (which I'm sure you've been told before) is to continue to cater to everyone's level of cycling. Lots of people who would love to take trips with you are intimidated by their perception of a bunch of super-serious bikers who take off in a flash, leaving the average folks behind. I didn't know what to expect either. The nice part was I could do an easy >ride or I could have done a more challenging ride without really negatively impacting the group. If there's one thing to mention in your advertising other than the great food you serve it would be the versatility in biking abilities and experience that you accomodate on your trips, so that all sorts of people have a great time.
Thanks again,"

When To Arrive
Guest arrival times for our trips are flexible. Most of our guests arrive for the weekend trips between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Friday. The cycling begins on Saturday morning. The same applies to our midweek tours with guests typically arriving between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM on Sunday.
One option for our camping trips is to join the tour the morning the cycling begins, which lowers the trip cost by $50.
Groups, Custom Trips & Gifts
Let us know if you're interested in having us design a custom trip or would like information about discounts for groups of six or more. We have hosted terrific company getaways and unforgettable family get-togethers. If you'd like, we can arrange for a private wine tasting right at our campsite. Also think of us if you're in the market for that special, one-of-a-kind gift.
We loved your company, the food was fabulous, the B&B was very special, massages were terrific and the routes were awesome. We enjoyed every minute of our weekend adventure."
