I was impressed by the final point.
I suppose Prosecco would be too much to expect for the drinks bottles?

Curiously, most of that route I cover on my weekly/daily jaunts. I think ill save my wonga for a decent bottle of wine.

That must be quite a depressing thought. My commiserations. To be honest, I don't think you've quite got the non-cynical, throw silly amounts of money at people with daft branding attitude that they're looking for.
mmmm. Perhaps we need an 'Enter and Shop' page.
There's a write-up of last year's event at http://www.lfgss.com/thread92179.html
The second feed stop had real potential - an 'Italian Deli' and coffee shop. Thoughts of freshly ground espresso and Mortadella ham kept us spinning into the night. Instead we got 'sausage' roll (soggy, with a filling that tasted like the sausage had been pre-chewed - mother bird style) and tea so hot that dragons wouldn't touch it.

It was £45 last year (there was a Groupon offer for a while, that was £21).2654130 said:
Though I fear we would be charged similar rates if we had to pay DZ the commercial rate for all his efforts put into the project.2654130 said:
Nevertheless we would still get more back on the investment. It's so easy to overlook some of DZ's real time decision making that moved last Friday's ride from being a potential disaster to a heroic procession to the Rose. And it is a ride, a group of people travelling together or close together, not a series of badly designed arrows and losing control on the detail - whether food, toilets or people who need to be 'socialised' into responsible riding.
Commercialism and bike rides are not the best of bedfellows ...
