Oh! I like this idea. Either Bellingham or Colorado Springs both work well for me (As well as any two places I could think of, actually. East coast would be pretty difficult.) A couple of suggestions: 1. Plans/itineraries, if this actually happens, should be firmed up by early- to mid-winter (ie.: Feb 1), in order for people to plan vacation time around it. That's partly just the reality for us working stiffs, but also is the time when many other events and activities (like organized bike tours and permitted rivers) hold their lotteries or have their entry deadlines for summer activities. At some point, I'd have to choose one or the other. 2. I'd love it if some of the (presumed) activities/rides could be kid-friendly. So longer rides or days might need SAG support. 3. It would be nice to do it where camping is an easy option, to keep costs down, but where there are hotel accommodations too, for those who prefer. Kind of dictates doing it in a smaller satellite community or rural area, where you wouldn't have to worry about locking your gear or bike all the time, either! 4. For the above two reasons, a hub-and-spoke type ride-based event might be nice, to accommodate as many personalities and riding tastes as possible. It sure doesn't need to be an endurance, count-the-miles sort of thing, like a regular bike tour, and not having to pack up every day would give us more opportunity to meet and mingle with each other. 5. I think there should be a small entry fee, which could go to providing air fare to get Grant and possibly a couple other Riv employees there.
