Bretton Woods Canopy Tour Update

**tomm** · 07-07-2014, 04:10 PM

Hi All,
I've been in touch with the folks at the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour and have some details to share with you.

The public rate for the tour during August (and we are right in the middle of their busiest time) is $110. The rate for guests staying at the resort is $99. Assuming we can get 8 folks to sign up (we have 6 so far who have expressed an interest), our rate would be $89.

It may seem like a lot, but it really is a good price given the time of year, and it will be some of the best 3-hours you will ever have.

Please note that I will need to book this no later than the end of this week in order to insure that we can get a tour all to ourselves. Those who have expressed an interest, please confirm. Anyone who is still on the fence, think it over.

Tom

************************************************** ***

Below are some details from Mark at Bretton Woods:

· Group Rate - Normally, our public rate during the summer is $110 per person; however, if you bring at least 8 participants or more, we could offer you a group rate of $89.00 per person. In the event you get more than 8 participants interested in doing our tour (we take a max of 8 people plus 2 tour guides in any one tour), we’ll do our best to schedule your group in back to back tours going out on the course a half hour apart.

· Reservation Confirmation – Reservations are required for the canopy tour and we confirm reservations upon payment. For groups we require a 25% deposit (one payment source required for entire group and a credit card is acceptable) at the time of booking the reservations with final payment due 14 days prior to the tour date.

· Tour Availability – As of this moment (subject to change based on first to pay basis), we currently have 8 spots open on each of the 9:00AM, 9:30AM, 1:00PM, and 1:30PM tours on 8/6…..

· Cancellation Policy – Please note that we do go out on the course rain or shine but will not go out in high winds and/or lightening. If we decide to cancel the tour, we will do our very best to contact you ASAP once a decision is made (providing your cell phone number is very helpful), you will receive a full refund or can reschedule. If you cancel, we need at least 48 hours notice prior to the tour time in order to receive a refund.

· Physical Requirements – Participants must weigh between 90 and 250 lbs., must be at least 4’ 6” tall, and be at least 12 years of age.

hour adventure which gives guests a bird's eye view of Rosebrook Canyon and its scenic surroundings.

• Other medical conditions that may be affected by your participation would include but are not limited to:

ThanksTom, I’m in sounds like a blast!

Loafer · 07-08-2014, 06:26 AM

I'm not into that kind of stuff and my wife says she wouldn't do it either. But I
noticed the weight maximum is 250 lbs. How many in our group will qualify?
Tom you have done an excellent job and put forth a lot of effort, THANK YOU!

**cnc** · 07-09-2014, 01:44 PM

Tom, spoke to my brother last night. Consider us both in but easy. by this I mean if we don't get the extra two needed to complete the group then we will be just as happy to go ride or do something else.
Thanks for all the hard work.

**tomm** · 07-09-2014, 10:17 PM

Norm - So far, we only have 4 confirmed. Still waiting to hear from Rhys and guest on whether they are in or not. But even with them, that only gives us 6, and we need 8 for the group rate. Guess we'll give it a few more days, but I agree . . . without the group rate this is off the table.

Actually, I'm a little surprised there isn't more interest, not only in this but in the rally as a whole, considering how many folks are located in these two regions.

**cnc** · 07-09-2014, 10:59 PM

Tom, we are running about par with other years if I am not mistaken on rally attendance.

The two regional rallies that I’ve attended have been in this range (25-30 people, 20-22 bikes) Nice size IMHO and as for the tour, it’s great too but at a 100$ (worth it I’m sure) it is still good chunk of change, or 4-5 tanks of gas. If it goes off the table, all is good for me, guess we’ll have to ride, and ride and ride some more

Thanks again for all the work you guys put into this, I can’t wait to see you all soon!

I think a lot of people have to work during the week and probably would have made it for at least a day or two if the weekend was part of the rally dates.

As it stands right now I'll be coming up for the day on the 6th just to meet everyone. id-man is probable. Will be caging it up if id-man comes as I would be picking him up and we'll split the driving. My drive for the day will be 573 miles and 9.5 hours in the car. id-man owns a business so I'm not sure if he will be able to make it or not. Either way I'll be up on the 6th to say hello.

**cnc** · 07-12-2014, 09:32 AM

Neil, the two previous rallies that sly talks about, one was a week end and one was the same set up as this up coming one. We had virtually the same numbers in attendance, but some different people. Yes you are right some would more likely attend if it was a weekend but some do prefer the week days. One of the main reasons we started the week day event format was quieter roads in the week in these popular tourist areas.
We actually did a survey of which format was preferred before switching for our previous rally in PA and the present format won out by a small margin.
Perhaps it is time to hold a survey before our next one.

Look forward to meeting you guys if your able to visit.

If it was on a weekend then would a person not have to either take a Friday or Monday off work to attend? Well, unless they live farly close and in that case they could still take a day off in the middle of the week to attend.

**HwyRider** · 07-12-2014, 08:52 PM

Not really. Some people could check in Friday night and checkout on Sunday and still make it home for work on Monday. Others would be able to just stop up for the day to say hello and introduce themselves without taking time off from work. Doesn't apply to me. Retired takes what ever day off they want.

**Top Cat** · 07-12-2014, 11:47 PM

Seems to me if a person were to check in Friday night and checkout on Sunday and still make it home for work on Monday they would have to live pretty close to the rally site.
I'm retired also so it makes no difference to me either, I have every day off

**HwyRider** · 07-13-2014, 09:05 AM

What is close in our minds may be a distance for others to travel. Some people are only good for a couple of hours in their seats and then need to go soak in a tub. I've noticed a lot of the New England riders don't stray much more that an hour or so from their homes.

Blueraven · 07-13-2014, 10:01 AM

Myself and Joe are confirmed. Will this take place on the Wed? Good for the morning times.

Rhys, it would be Wed, but it might not happen as we need a group of 8 for the deal and we only have 6 confirmed.
