No, we do not organize or pay for any of the riders' accommodation as we are a charity event and cannot afford it. We keep registration fees low to ease the financial burden. However, we reach out to hotels and motels in our stay areas to get special rates for participants. Accommodation is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is there a limit on the number of participants?
Yes, the tour is capped at 30 riders for safety reasons. We have three support cars and varied riding abilities, so this limit helps us manage the event safely.
What is the daily schedule like?
We generally start our day at 8 AM with a rider briefing to go over the day's route and stops. We set off as a group with three support cars: one at the back, one at the front of the main group, and another ahead for faster riders.
What about food during the tour?
PFP supplies hydration and nutrition, including water, gels, and muesli bars across the three support cars. Participants also bring baked goods to share. However, we do not supply lunches, breakfasts, or dinners. Participants need to arrange and fund these meals themselves. A large cooler will be available to keep items cool during the day.
Can less experienced riders join the tour?
Absolutely! PFP is flexible, offering a five day ticket or a two day weekend pass. However, please consider that this event requires high fitness / endurance capability, coupled with moderate-advanced cycling experience. If you feel that you do not meet these requirements, please consider our virtual component where you can pick from a 100km, 250km, or 500km challenge over the month of October. More information on this to follow. We do encourage people of all abilities to join.
