Day 6 will not have any "extra" miles but will be a straight shot back to Cody. For that reason, mileages on Day 5 and 6 are not the same.
If you opt to stay in motels along the route, booking them and transport to and from the motel is your own responsibility.

What To Expect

The Tour de Wyoming is a fully supported tour.
We carry your luggage each day, provide rest stops with food and drink, and provide camping at schools (indoor and outdoor options) each evening.
SAG support is available to pick you up on the route, if needed.
During the ride, we have medics and mechanics on the road (they are riding bikes, too). We have bike mechanics available at the end of each day as well as massage therapists. We provide breakfast with the entry fee but all other meals are "pay as you go." Most evenings we offer a group meal option provided by a local community organization.

We are sticklers for safety. All riders MUST keep to the right "as far as practical" when on the Tour de Wyoming. This means pacelines are not allowed to impede traffic. Our roads are open to motor vehicles and we must SHARE THE ROAD.

If you prefer a bit of pampering for the week, contact the Shuttleguy for their services.
