What type of dining will we be doing?

When researching a trip, we seek out restaurants that serve healthy, fresh choices typical of the California cuisine style of cooking. We often dine at the highest rated restaurant in the area, if that restaurant serves healthy meals.

Nobody goes hungry on an Undiscovered Country trip! One of the joys of riding several hours per day is getting to enjoy the dinner afterwards. We give you the choice of ordering anything on a restaurant's menu. Order appetizers, soup, salad, entree, dessert, and beverages. The only thing that isn't included is alcohol.

We meet for breakfast every morning of the trip. Breakfast will be either continental style of made to order.

We gather on the first day of the trip at noon, in the lobby of the Lakeside Inn in Stateline, NV.

Where does the trip end?

The trip concludes at the Lakeside Inn in Stateline, NV, at about 4:00 PM.
