What is covered in terms of costs, and what should I expect to pay in addition to the $500US?
This is a new endeavor, and obviously we’re making a lot of assumptions. Given the best information at this time, flying to the east coast is about $200US/person including their bike. We’re budgeting $25US/day per person for lodging and food. The remaining hundred dollars is for the support vehicle system. In the event that we go over budget, we are counting on the bikers pitching in to absorb unanticipated costs. However, we do not think that it will be necessary at this point. We recommend about $40.00 – $50.00 American Dollars be brought along in cash. This will be changed by Mark before the ride into small change of the local currency for use along the route.
