Add-ons

What are these optional add‑ons? So glad you asked!

► Breakfast & Dinner

The most popular add‑on is the cafeteria meal plan.

It’s just what it sounds like – you and a few hundred new friends dine together in the school cafeteria. Dishes are prepared by school lunch staff and vary by school. Attend the evening meetings to learn what your meals will be the following day.

CAFETERIA MEAL PLAN:
BREAKFAST – Sunday through Friday
LUNCH – On your own, except Friday
DINNER – Sunday through Thursday

Please note that “seconds” are not allowed and if you have in the past found the portions too small for your appetite, you may supplement with food you bring or buy on the route, or buy an additional meal plan. Be sure if you select meat or vegetarian, you stick with that choice throughout the week, or you may cause another rider to not get the meal they reserved.

► Transportation

The second most popular add‑on is transportation from the end to the start.

Saturday: Please arrive at the last site before the designated load time – please do not be late. You’ll load your bike onto the truck, and place your luggage in the bus cargo compartment. The bus will take you to the first site for unloading and registration.
See Long-term Parking at Last Site below.

Friday: Those who purchased transportation for Friday will load up after lunch at the last site and be bussed to the first site. Loading and departure times will be posted – please do not be late.
See Long-term Parking at First Site below.

► Camping

Another option we like to make you aware is available is a campsite setup service done entirely by Comfy Campers. They partner with PALM and other organized rides. Review the perks available and book through their website after you complete your PALM registration. Reservation for campsite service ends May 26 or when full.

► Long-term Parking

First site: If you’re parking for the week at the first site, staff will direct you to the designated long-term parking area. It is important that you do not park in another location, as this space is designated in our site contract.

Last site: You can also park a vehicle for the week at the last site, for an easy departure after Friday’s lunch. Please park only in the designated long-term parking area. All vehicles must be removed from the site by the posted time on Friday.
