Just so I fully understand where this is going, the thought is to have, for
each Sector, only two "official"stops: one at the very start, and one at the
very end. Between these two official stops, we have two options for the
participants: the first would be a little more structured with recommended
evening stops and perhaps recommended stops for eats; the second would be to
meet with the structured part of the Tour where they wish, except making
sure they are at the beginning and end of each Sector.
Am I understanding this correctly?
My comments : to be honest I saw the Tour as a little more towards the
structured end. This new less structured option will have definitely some
appeal to a number of people, giving them more freedom. Others will
appreciate camaraderie and organization of the structured option. And still
others will choose structure some days, and freedom others. The idea has
got me thinking a little more "out of the box".
I'd definitely like to hear comments from all the SC's and the International
Coordinators as well on this, particularly those that are regular multi-day
tour goers. Anyone have experience with a two structure type of tour?

Jamie: excellent! much better! This gives everyone a more relaxed pace,
but still maintains a structure.

In view of Gregory's request (& the fact that the routing for Oregon &
Washington didn't come out exactly the way I was thinking), I'm going to
re-run those two Sectors and I'm planning on more evenly distributing the
time versus days. I am now thinking that setting a stopping point each
night is a bit anal and ludicrous. If we have a main starting point and
time at the beginning and a main stopping point or gathering location at the
end of a Sector (agreed to by the following Sector for their starting
point), this should do the trick. Along the way we can of course have a
"suggested route" with suggested stops of interest listed. These stops
could be a regular listing on the main web page for that particular Sector
(perhaps with their own maps showing how/where from the "suggested routing"
and at what point to "divert". Along with the original idea of suggested
lodging, eateries, fuel stops, mechanical services and parts, all these can
feed from that web page.
Comments?
