Re: [RC] cost of rides - Kathy Ramspott

The cost of the rides themselves is already getting scary. We’ve got rides in the Mountain Region where even the LD is $85. So for one, I’m going to take my very green horse and do the fun ride instead! Gotta save my bucks for Grand Canyon !

I am curious. Organized bike rides for $20 and you get:

t-shirt
all the water and gatorade you could want at multiple rest stops
all the snacks, energy bars and fruit you could want at rest stops
If you want to stop or if you are having any problems you turn your bike over and trucks come by and help you out througout the day
A meal at completion
A free massage at completion.



All this for $20. Now, what I am thinking though is that there are also upwards of 100 riders, in this particular case 500 riders. Is THAT what makes it so inexpensive? So if a Endurance ride could consistently have hundreds of riders maybe they too would be less expensive?
