Someone mentioned the possibility of doing a National Rolling Rally.
I'm another Peanut Brain that has been pondering a Rolling Rally.
But, NOT as a National. Only as a Big Rolling Rally...
ie; We're not discussing a National Rolling Rally ..
To start the discussion, I've kinda figured out some possible I'deers..
So, I'm Spit-balling them for discussion...
Please help with idea's of your own.
Maybe, just maybe, we could pull something off..... :great:
I'deers...….. {In the beginning there was an I'deer, and it was good. etc etc etc}
Start with; Keep the plan simple... Use the KISS Principal.
Do not do banquets etc,,,, and lets discuss a ride across/around the Texas {or mebbe the USA}?
1} Just set up Hotels {and/or camping area's} every other night or so.. {for mebbe 20 - 50 riders}
All would NOT ride together. Just arrive at the next Motel/camp ground at the designated date.
At each stop the group could ride the area a bit, rest, or do repairs as needed..
2} Mebbe one Motel Chain would be willing to give a discount if approached right.
After this Virus, they'll be hungry for business.
3} People could join in and then depart as the group made it's way thru the course..
Some might go the entire ride..
4} Trailer people {like me} could leave the Trailer somewhere and go back and get it,,,
or beg the wife drag it as the Vulture Wagon.
5} If the USA, Mebbe someone from each Section of COG could be responsible for arranging the lodging in their area.
If Texas, {Yea I know, almost as big!!} Mebbe the AAD'as from each Section of Texas could be responsible for arranging the lodging
in their area.
If so, that person would primarily arrange Lodging, and suggest a few restaurant's.
If they choose, that person could suggest various things to see, roads to ride.
6} Thoughts??? {Add detail / I-deers as we discuss}...
NOTE: This Rolling Rally idea is kinda what we do when the "OtP" Traveler makes his ride.
We've successfully done it for 18 years, so I know it's possible..
To get hosts to arrange sections of the OtP Trip, I've often called COGgers along the intended route and asked for their help.
Being COGgers, many have been willing.
They helped arrange the Motels, suggested thing's to see, or took over as lead while the "OtP" Traveler is in the area.
Additionally; Each year, our GCE Brothers do Rolling Rally's in Europe. A few of us have attended them and their GREAT!
I'm sure they would give us advise on how they do it.
Ok, so I've thrown out a few I-deers.
Is it an I-deer worth discussing?
Post your thoughts on how to do it here, and let's discuss the I'deers..
NOTE: We want to figure out how to do it, not why not to.
Ride safe, Ted
