As a Sojourn tour leader, you and your co-leader will spend the tour engaging our guests and ensuring their safety and enjoyment. You will rise early each morning to attend to behind-the-scenes details and preparation and end each day late in the evening. You will need to be a jack of all trades (see below) and will serve as the face of the company while in the field. While the job is extremely fun for the right individual, it requires long hours on the job that are not always in the saddle of your bike. For the right person, the job might just be the best one you will ever have.
Do you have what it takes? Here’s the shortlist of critical attributes we’re looking for:
o Are a competent road cyclist who can ride comfortably at 15-18 mph for 2-3 hours at a time
o Have basic bike mechanical abilities like changing a tire and adjusting brakes and derailleurs

o Are fit enough to repeatedly carry 30-50 lb luggage, often up flights of stairs
o Enjoy interacting with people and possess exceptional customer service skills
