Being new, I thinks, "They can't keep this up during ride season, can they!?" > So give us ideas for the "Great Cheap Ride" ***Desert Gold was billed as a "no frills ride." But to this old backpacker, who used to live for 5 days on a quart Ziploc of gorp and 3 pouches of freeze dried pilaf, it was quite luxurious. There was no human-potable water supplied x/ for volunteers. The 1st nite ride dinner--Thanksgiving!--was a potluck. The 2nd night was cheese & crackers & BYOB. Also the vet "cards" were actually just plain white paper.(One enterprising junior backed it with duct tape.) As it rained the first day, the sheets, designed to last 3 days, were a soggy mess and doubled as toilet paper and handy wipes. More savings. A previous thread noted that a lot of people don't wear underwear on rides. So save on ribbons by using shredded panties. Another idea is for everyone to bring a completion award to give to someone else--kind of like the Secret Santa exchange at office Xmas parties. You could limit the price to $5-$10. You could call it "The Cheap's Gait Ride."
