bike tour guide or leader
(This seemed the most appropriate place to ask this, if not then point me to a better sub-section.)
Have any of you tried being a bike touring guide? I got the Adventure Cycling 2016 Tours pamphlet in the mail last night and it had a short bio of one of the tour guides/leaders who said he recently retired and took the leadership class. That got me curious about the potential of combining a bike tour with a job. I imagine how well it works out depends to a great extent upon the people who are participants, but still it seems interesting to me in a few years.
Or maybe I need to build some credentials and volunteer for local charity and fund raiser rides. I'm thinking that if I want to try this for next summer then now is when I probably need to start making contacts.
Anyway, does anyone here have direct experience as a tour group ride leader or support crew? I'm interested in your views and opinions on the subject.
Thank you,
Mike J (aka: treebound)
