Lake Superior Circle Tour
CANCELLED
April 27, 2011 - Bad news. The 2011 Lake Superior Circle Tour is cancelled.
It seems like the price of gas ($6/gal in Canada
right now, and $4/gal here) has killed us.
We only have 9 registrations and that’s not anywhere even close
to my break-even point so I’ve decided to cancel this year.
But, I believe some, if not most, of the other riders who were
going have decided to go anyway.
I've held off for some time hoping that something would change
but I'm now resigned to the fact that I have to cancel this year's tour.
I’ll be sending out refunds in the next couple of days.
I feel absolutely terrible that I have to cancel, but there is no way I
can absorb the thousands of dollars that it takes to put this on.
In November, December and January I was getting maybe a dozen inquiries a
week, which is more than we’ve ever gotten that early in the season.
Then in February, when the gas prices started to rise, it was like
someone turning off the faucet and I only got a few a month.
Since the beginning of February I’ve only gotten three registrations.
For those of you thinking, "If only I'd sent mine in
instead of waiting till the last opportunity" and beating yourself up for it, do
know that the break-even point is around 30 participants and we are not even
close to that. I do know that Mark
Kowal's group of four people are still making the tour and he has said that he'd
love to have others to ride with.
Anyone who is interested in still going can contact me
info@wolfsheadrally.com and I will
forward your e-mail address to Mark.
John Cowan, who I believe has gone every year, may also still go, so he
may be an excellent resource about the route for those still going.
I do have some T-shirts left from last year (undated) and
if anyone is interested shoot me an e-mail.
Again, I am crushed and so sorry to have to cancel the
tour.
