About Signup

Cost to join this ride is $600

The money covers 7 nights hotels and the ride kick off dinner. It also covers GPS files, both tracklogs, and GPS background maps. I will also provide a printed daily ride plan with printed daily maps, all designed specifically for our route. 

Roulette is by invitation only.  How do you get an invitation?  Several ways: 

If you have been on a Roulette before, you are invited and you will get an email.

If you have a personal invite from Keith B (North Carolina) or from Jeff M (Idaho) then you are invited.

If you know gpsKevin you can request an invitation below.

If you are friends with someone that has been on a Roulette, you can ask them to request an invitation on your behalf.

You can attend one of my other upcoming rides and discuss the Roulette with me personally during the ride.

Lastly, you can fill out the request form below and I will consider adding qualified riders based on space availability.

Sorry this is my way of continuing to get only great riders. It is a great group of riders.

Things to think about before signing up

Is this ride right for you? 

This is an explorer's ride. The nature of exploring is that much is unknown, so things can go wrong.  The routes are unproven and sometimes don't work due to obstacles or just plain errors.  The day can turn long and test your abilities and patience.   You will find yourself in the mix of many rider's opinions that know how to fix the problem. You need to be able to find the fun in that.  The riding can be fun, challenging, fast, slow, scenic, and hard.  It is all about the riding.

Are you right for this ride?

When something goes wrong on a ride, would your riding friends say that you are more likely to need help or more likely to give help?  You should be in the more likely to offer help camp.  This ride is filled with riders that are more likely to give help, so most of the time the riders never need help.  Additionally there is all the normal stuff: come prepared to maintain your bike, fix your bike on the trail, repair flat tires, deal with bad weather and rain and make a joke or two.

How does the ride navigation work?

This is a self-led GPS ride; all riding is on your own.  You are responsible for your own riding.  You will be given a GPS map file and instructions on how to use your Garmin GPS unit.  People will hook up in small groups of less than 6 riders and tend to ride together.  You are not encouraged to ride alone.  You are responsible for your own riding and yourself. 

 (see my ride Navigation Video) 

How do I make the GPS stuff so easy?

I develop very high quality custom ride maps for our ride.  They come from much of what I and others have ridden.  I take the best from all my rides and make new ones. 

(See my Custom Ride Maps Video) 

Note from me, gpsKevin

My goal for this ride is simple:  great riding! You can count on great routes and places to ride.

But, in addition, the ride is about discovering new places, meeting new friends, seeing new parts of the world.

Thanks

gpsKevin

Refund Policy

Do not sign up for this ride unless you are serious about coming.  I take your signup very seriously and start planning for you the minute you sign up.  If you need to cancel up to one month prior to the ride start date I will give you a full refund.  If you need to cancel within one month of the ride I can not give a refund unless I can find a replacement rider. In the case of finding a replacement rider, I will gladly give you the full refund minus $100 to cover the planning work.  In the event of ride cancellation, you will be given a full refund.

Sorry, but I make non refundable commitments myself so it gets hard for me. "I hate this world of non refundable deals myself."
