Arrival in Port Byron
Arrival in Cairo
If you are initially meeting us in Cairo, please plan on arriving
in time for the main check in and opening meeting.
We estimate that our transportation service from Carbondale to Cairo will
arrive at the Cairo main lodging site at approximately 3:00 pm.
Unless you are getting dropped off in Cairo, you will need to take our transportation
service from Carbondale to Cairo before the start of the tour because parking
will not be available in Cairo.
If you are staying at the supported hotel you will need to bike over to
the main lodging site in time for the main check in and opening meeting.

from Carbondale to Cairo.
We will not offer any on road support services on Saturday. Our first day
of supported cycling will be on Sunday.
Main Check In and Opening Meeting
The main check in will begin at 4:30 pm, and the opening meeting will immediately
follow the main check in. The opening meeting should conclude around 5:30
pm, which will still give you plenty of daylight to get dinner and either
set up your tent and sleeping bag or bike back over to the supported hotel
and get ready for the ride the next day.
Though very unlikely it is possible that the Amtrak train may be significantly
delayed arriving in Carbondale and we will not arrive in Cairo or be able
to begin the main check in and opening meeting by 4:30 pm. If this happens
we will begin the main check in and opening meeting very shortly after we
arrive in Cairo.
