*IMPORTANT NOTES* All occupancy is based on rider sharing. In Bucerias, riders will have their own private room and private bath. In Tequila, we can guarantee a private room but we cannot guarantee a private bath. While we will try to have the group as close together as possible in Tequila and Bucerias, it is not always possible. We will do our best. Your Bucerias accommodations will be booked and held for the entire tour. Please pack very lightly for the Tequila portion of the trip. You will return to Bucerias where you will spend the final night. If you want to have your own private accommodations we can quote you an upgrade based on the additional cost (this could vary). Breakfast is not included in Bucerias but a basic pre-ride breakfast will be provided in Tequila by the event host and riders will be able to get breakfast the final day in Tequila at their leisure (not included in the tour price). We suggest making Chedraui one of your first stops in Bucerias where you can stock up on what best suits you for a pre-ride breakfast to be self-prepared in your apartment/condo. Coffee, espresso, cappuccinos etc. and very simple snacks (bars, yoghurt granola cups, etc.) are also available for purchase at the Bici Bucerias Cafe. Post-ride lunches are very simple (aka Mexican style) and take place at our little cafe inside the shop. Included in this lunch is a local beer, soft drink or coffee. Specialty beers and cocktails can be purchased separately. Post Dinners are based on normal portions for active people and many of our dinners will be a fixed menu. Some meals will include wine pairing or other specialty drinks which works out to around 2 drinks per person. Additional alcohol can be purchased by the guest. If you have specific dietary needs, or your portion requirements are 2 - 3 times the norm, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Riders will be supported by a minimum of one vehicle and one guide per four riders. Note that the driver will always do his best to attend to all riders and we strive to ensure we check on everyone at 20 - 30 minute intervals in the event the group becomes split. In the event, we have more than 12 guests, and depending on the skill level, we may add a second vehicle at our cost to support the riders. For the shorter rides in Bucerias, we generally do not bring a support vehicle.
