Not going to happen.
The moment it is in any way an official event or has an official organiser, is the moment the whole thing needs insurance.
That takes the cost from "could be a small surcharge" to "It's £30 to take part".
The only way to actually make it cheap, is to keep it totally unorganised and unofficial.

As the dynamo is growing. I think that the reality is that it needs to get slight organised. There is mass chaos on departure with impatient drivers acting like dickhead, also I'm sure head toward south Essex there are loads of drunk drivers and the mess and needless noise on stopping points is getting silly now.
I hope that a Marshall could be arranged at each point to remind people to turn stereos off in villages and also discourage littering and also picking up litter that is left.
A police escort until the m25 would be ideals too. With staggered start times for riders.
This could all be finance by small surcharge on coach and train tickets.
The unorganized nature is it's charm but I'd hate to see it get a bad reputation and annoy people at large.
So many locals come out and cheer us all on. I was even offered the use of a toilet in someones home. But these people are drowned out by those that feel it hinders there sleep one day a year.
