Fwd: [RUSA-RBA] Paris Brest Paris Bag Drop

[Bill Bryant]

Hi Everyone--

Deb Banks is gauging interest in a US bag drop for PBP in August. If you are interested, read on!

This is good news for PBP-bound riders and I hope you'll take the time to let her know if you would participate.

Cheers,

Bill Bryant

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope that you all had a great end of year and start to the new year. It’s been wet and windy here in NorCal, but we managed a 200k yesterday with a bunch of determined riders. I wish all of you a healthy, safe, and fun season as an RBA!

I am writing with an announcement that I would like you to distribute to your riders. Myself, and three others (Mark Behning, Eric Norris and Bill Green) will be providing a Bag Drop service for PBP in 2023. Between us there are at least 14 PBP’s, so we know what it takes to complete this fantastic riding event, and for me, a Bag Drop service was pivotal to completing the event (anyone remember 2007? Oof!). It is a way for the four of us to be a part of the Big Dance and volunteer providing a service for riders that can aid them in completion. 

We have a plan, but at this juncture we are asking for you to distribute this Interest form to your riders. We’d like to get some feedback and the simple questions on the form ask what location they’d want a bag drop and how much they might pay for such a service, plus we are gathering names and emails to be able to send out a true registration when the time comes as we get closer to August. 

We are NOT providing the type of service that shuttles bags to hotels along the course, or picks them up and drops them off at a host of hotels prior to the start. Our plan is to be at the check-in location, collect bags, take them to identified locations on the course, watch them for riders, and then return them to the check-in area at the end of the ride. Simple and straightforward. 

I am asking that you please send this to your riders so that they can send in their interest and feedback to me.

Here’s the link: https://forms.gle/VnJ5nwBoCHDKdNtE7

Ping me with questions and please fill out the form! 

Thanks much,

deb
