[DVBC] ACS Ride Logistics

[Ann Martha]

Here's a neat way to organize a bike's club participation in the ACS ride.

I used to do the ride with the Northeast Roadrunners Chain Gang.   The 
running club chartered a tour bus and left at 5:30 AM from Northeast 
Philly.   When the group reorganized and started the ride at 5:30 from 
Bucks County, I dropped out because Bucks County was too far away for so 
early in the morning.

If DVBC plans the event, we could all depart from a common place, such as 
behind the Staples in Springfield.  We'd meet there at 5 AM and load the 
bikes into a chartered tour bus.  We then ride the bus to the Ben Franklin 
Bridge arriving at 6:30 A.M.   The ride starts at 7.   The bus goes to Mays 
Landing, and picks us up at 3:30 PM for the return ride to Springfield, 
PA.   The tour bus could hold 30 participants, and the charter would cost 
each participant approximately $35, given the inflated price of fuel during 
the summer months.  The club then turns over any cash remaining from the 
bus charter to the ACS.
