Payment Policy

A $400 deposit per person is required with each registration. A second installment of $400 towards the trip payment is due on December 1 as specified in your trip Welcome Letter.

The final balance is due at least 75 days prior to the trip start. At Bike and the Like's option, non-payment of monies due may be considered a cancellation. We usually send payment-due reminders via e-mail, however, it is always the participant's responsibility to make timely payments.

Please keep us informed of changes to your e-mail as well as other personal information.
