We are a dedicated collective, working to organize a fun, safe, challenging, and exhilarating adventure that you will never forget. The riders will also form a collective, working together to make the tour possible, therefore each cyclist is not just “along for the ride.” We function cooperatively, with each member having an equal say in decision making. Co-cycle is constantly morphing and growing through the work and play of each participant. That being said, your participation in Co-cycle will be a very demanding experience, physically, mentally and emotionally, so you must be dedicated to flexibility and communication. For example, here is a typical day in the life of a co-cyclist: Wake-up You will be dirty for most of the trip, a convolution of sweat, dirt and nut butters.
