Default me had a ride out idea

The person who organises everything.. like all the plans- the routes etc etc- has the stress and worry-

should get a free day ..

every petrol stop everyone else on the ride out should club together and fill the tank up of the organiser..



Deal or no Deal. ?

It's not usually just one person that does everything. Everyone usually brings something special to the rideout.
Most people I know are happy to organise, and people enjoying themselves is payment enough.

When I've organised for a group of say 20 people to do a trackday in the past that's the way I've done it. You get discounts and a free place for every ten people, so I claim one of the free places for doing the donkey work and the other free place is used as a draw prize to give one lucky person a refund on their trackday.

So far everyone who's attended has been happy with the situation and they don't begrudge me getting a free trackday as they know it takes some organising.

Just having a laugh was plenty for me this weekend. But I am very grateful for all the donations of petrol, ale and cigs!
