If so, this is a major drawback in my opinion, because most of the interesting nature/riding is in the western US. While there certainly stuff to see on the East Coast, it pales in comparison to the West. And I say this as a resident of Washington, DC, not someone out West!

It depends on the trip. For a coast to coast they ship into Norfolk and back from Santa Rosa, for west US they ship to and from Santa Rosa, for Alaska they ship into Anchorage and back from Santa Rosa. Some years they will do 2 different trips which you can link up to make 1 big one.
It’s not a normal bike holiday company, you only pay for the shipping but you get all the info you need: insurance etc... You are free to pick up your bike, do your own thing then drop the bike off for shipping home. Or you can join the ride leader or you can do part of his itinerary and part of yours.
If the OP is interested I suggest contacting Chris at Unchained - I have no affiliation with the company only that I went on a trip with Chris, which was great and I’ve got a few friends who have used his services on more than 1 occasion - some have been 3 or 4 times.
