if I chose to start the tour on Oct 21, what would be the time to meet to grab instructions, map, bike, etc on Oct 21?

if the tour officially starts on Oct 21 and I arrive on Oct 20, the overnight Oct 20-Oct 21 would be my own expense, correct?

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.
