Additional Arrival Information
We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC) in Rochester, New York. This regional airport is serviced by most major US domestic carriers. If you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/University & Medical Center (the pickup location on the first day of your Trek Travel trip), you may call the hotel to arrange to be picked up by their complimentary airport shuttle.
For guests driving to the trip, we suggest driving to the Lake House on Canandaigua. Park in the hotel lot and you may drop your luggage at the front desk if you like, so that it may be delivered to your room later in the day. Please let the front desk staff know that you are with Trek Travel. Your guides will pick you up here on the first day of your trip between 10:45 AM and 11:00 AM. If you plan to do this please notify your trip consultant, so your guides will be aware of your arrival plans.
Your Trek Travel guides will meet you at the Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/University & Medical Center (30 Celebration Dr, Rochester, NY 14620) at 10:00 AM on the first day of the trip. Once everyone has arrived, the group will shuttle approximately 40 minutes to the Lake House on Canandaigua to pick up any guests who may have driven their personal vehicles to the trip. From here the group will shuttle an additional 25 minutes to a winery near the shores of Seneca Lake. Upon your arrival to the winery you will enjoy a delicious picnic lunch and a wine tasting if you like. After lunch, your Trek Travel guides will ensure a comfortable fit to your Trek bicycle for the week before you begin your first ride of the trip. Please have your riding gear in a separate bag, since your luggage will be unloaded at the Lake House on Canandaigua and you will not have access to it during lunch or the bike fit.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides. You will receive an email a week before the trip start with their names and contact details. If you cannot reach them, please call the Lake House on Canandaigua (585-394-7800) and leave a message with your expected arrival time and contact details. A taxi from the pickup hotel in Rochester to meet the group at the winery will cost about $150 and take about an hour.
Additional Departure Information
You will say farewell to your guides at 12:45 PM at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC). If you are flying out today, please do not book a flight that departs before 3:00 PM. If requested, your guides can also make a stop at the Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/University & Medical Center after the airport drop.
