Michelle gave an excellent answer. "I am not used to going ..." is correct.
Here is a slightly more detailed answer.
"be used to" - "to" is a preposition
"To be used to" [noun or gerund] means "to be accustomed to" [noun or gerund].
I live in Canada. I am used to cold winters. [winters = noun; cold winters = object of preposition "to"]
I live in Canada. I am used to wearing heavy coats in winter. [wearing = gerund; wearing heavy coats in winter = object of preposition "to"]
"I am not used to going ..." means "I am not accustomed to going ...."
A similar structure to "be used to" is "used to," but the meaning is different.
"used [to (verb infinitive)]" - "to" is part of the verb
"used" [to (verb infinitive)] describes a state or habit in the past that is no longer true.
Joe used to be sociable [but he isn't anymore].
Joe used to work at a factory [but he doesn't anymore].

I am not used to going to ... [place].
“To be used to” is followed by a noun or a gerund which acts as a noun.
For example:
“I’m not used to the rain.”
“You’re not used to being in the rain.”
“She’s not used to it raining so much.”
However, when saying “[subject] used to,” it is followed by a verb - or rather, “[subject] used” is followed by an infinitive.
For example:
“I used to play in the rain a lot.”
“They used to come to my house every summer.”
“You used to be my friend.”
Hope this helps!
