I've done 3 organised group tours over long weekends, and all three were with the Elbow Valley Cycle Club in Calgary. They put on really good tours.

Two of the tours were the Golden Triangle route ... Castle Junction to Radium Hotsprings to Golden and back to Castle Junction via Lake Louise. Just beautiful!!

I drove to the start/finish area, but after that it was all bicycle ... almost all bicycle. The tour had a few sweep/mechanical/medical/baggage vehicles and a shuttle van to the hotsprings, but a small handful of vehicles for the 300+ riders is pretty car-light ...

The third tour was a Hub-and-Spoke tour based near Logan Pass, Montana. I drove there, but after that, we all parked our cars and the 3 days of the tour were car-free. It's a really pretty area.
