I’m starting to get a negative vibe about all the nickel and diming from the organizers. Every time I turn around it’s another thing I have to buy, and another $10 service charge to buy it.

just realized I have to pay for bike maintenance, which I do not need because I can’t take my bike to the hotel at night. They already are charging me a fee to make the hotel reservation, a fee to get my luggage there, and now they tell me I can’t bring my bike on the shuttle to the hotel or just leave it in a secure location. ( and one night my hotel is 30 miles away). So unless I want to leave an expensive bike at the camp site unsecured, I’m compelled to buy their bike service, and pay a $10 fee for the privilege.

I understand they have expenses they have to cover, but set a reasonable price for the event which covers your cost and makes a fair profit. Just don’t nickel and dime me to death.
