I am trying to figure out the overnights, therefore, which day i should start the tour. I will arriving to Frankfurt from Berlim on Oct 20 my question is : will I spend one night in Frankfurt on my expense to strart the tour on D1 on Oct 21, departing from Frankfurt to Mainz ... Is this correct? in this case, what time the tour starts on Day 1 and where to meet, to get the bikes, etc.. ?? Can you be more specific assuming that I will be arriving in Frankfurt on Oct 20 in the PM ?

Yes that is correct....we recommend to stay one night in Frankfurt before the tour starts....so it would be Oct 20-21 in Frankfurt and you would start cycling the next morning. You will get the bikes in our office. A 5 minute walk from our office is the hotel Maingau which would be an option for you to stay. We can book this night for you as well if you want.

Booklets with sectional maps should have been available in English. Bike seat came unattached on the last day of cycling which was a nuisance & somewhat dangerous

  If if the tour officially starts on Oct 21 and you arrive on Oct 20, the overnight Oct 20-Oct 21 would be your own expense. You can come to our office the next morning to get the bikes, instructions etc. The first cycling stage is not too long so you will have enough time.
