Dreamtours (Beta)

Do you have a dream expedition on a bike that you would like to have others to join you on, help you get it off the ground and share the costs? Do you have a dream tour that you wish someone would help you implement it? DreamTours will revolutionize the way cycling tours around the world are created. You create your DreamTour and the community around the world makes it a reality.

DreamTours allows cycling enthusiasts to design a tour and post it on the website for others to comment on, make suggestions to improve upon it, and register their interest in joining the tour. Creators name the tour, upload destination photographs, outline trip highlights, plot the route on a map, and set the cost parameters of the tour by choosing variables such as accommodation, number of riders, food, crew and vehicle support.

If the tour is logistically viable, DreamTours approves it and the creator can begin recruiting more riders via social networking. When enough people have signed on, DreamTours takes over the planning process to make the trip a reality. If a tour sells out, the creator can ride for free or apply a discount to the entire group. Tours currently in the works include a North American Epic, an Indian Adventure, and the Mediterranean Circuit.

Interesting crowd sourcing idea.
