My first org ride. I LOVED that route, and would love to get to grips with it now I'm a much more experienced rider.

If we can manage a decent number of definites (paid up front) we should try negotiating for either

a) a decent discount

and/or

b) the track to ourselves.
I arranged one last year, as did a couple of others, with varying degrees of success.

Typical discount will be 10% and you will never get a day to yourselves unless you can get 120 people to book (40 in each of the 3 groups). Even the GixerJunkies haven't managed to book out a whole day to themselves yet, and they have a serious amount of track addicts!

I.e we all meet up somewhere, then go out have a meal and then go get drunk.

Never sits well with me having a skinful and then riding the next day...
We did that down here earlier this year... It was a good night by all accounts!

Right. We only managed about eighty bikes on the AR, so there's no prospect of getting a hundred of us to the track. Still, a 10% discount and a good bunch of people would be cool.

I think as well that idea was to get the old boys back together, including some who no longer have a bike ;)

You just plan a few months in advance and book a hotel. When we did the Eurotours Steve Jelster always sorted that out, no bother. We stayed in Alencon the year I went and went in and out the Alps on daytrips to avoid being loaded up day on day.
