- APRIL 10, 2020-IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!-Due to concern for the health of our participants, as well as issues that have continued to arise with arranging the logistics of the tour during the virus-related travel and meeting restrictions in place both now and for the foreseeable future, we have had to make the decision to cancel the 2020 edition of the Ride the Fault Line tour. Those registered will be receiving a full refund, and have been advised of those procedures via e-mail. We regret having to make this decision, but felt it was in the best interests of the participants, the tour staff, and the residents of our host communities. We encourage you to check back here late this year to find out what the plans are for trying to offer the tour in 2021.
