Sharon,
send me your email privately (I lurk on archives) and I’ll share a
break-even spreadsheet that my husband created for me. It details your
expenses and calculates how many riders you’ll need to break even. You
can change the fee schedule and
expense amounts to get an idea of how the
differences will affect your bottom line.
My friends and I are putting on a new ride
and we’ve learned a lot about where to get good deals on trail markers,
completion awards etc. We are exceptionally fortunate to have a lot of
great mentors helping us. I’d be happy to share my
virgin wisdom with you if you’re interested. Putting on your
own ride is hard, but the Ride
Manager community provides awesome support and that makes it a lot easier. I
figure its time for me to do a little pay-back!
I can be reached at askridemanager at
tracetribute dot com.
BTW – definitely get the Port-O-Lets. You don’t want
folks to have to pee in the bushes!
