Re: [emrat:11430] Three Flags Classic - planning and budgeting?

Martin,

 

Denise and I normally budget $300.00 a day for the two of us on our trips. Like Steve we treat our road trip like a vacation.

 

Looking back at my records, the SCMA yearly dues are $30.00 for a year and in 2017 the cost for the ride was $275.00.

Hey, I want to throw some questions out there at the Three Flags Classic (TFC) veterans out there, since I know we have several in the group.  

 

How do you calculate your budget for that?  This has been a dream ride of mine for years and I just want to see if I can figure out a potential cost. 

 

Depending on where the ride starts and ends, I'd likely have to figure on a minimum of 3 riding days to the start and 3 riding days from the finish to get home. 

 

The ride itself starts on the Friday of Labor Day weekend, right?  And ends on Labor day, Monday, with the banquet Tuesday night?  So assuming that one has to check in on Thursday night and won't check out until Wednesday morning, that's 7 nights lodging for just the ride itself, yes? 

 

For those of you that don't mind sharing, do you recall what your expenses were?  Seems to me lodging is by far the biggest expense, followed by food and then fuel. 

 

Thanks for any info!
