The problems arise trying to accommodate every one who wants to help and every different idea. The tweed ride, for example, worked because one or two people were in charge and they could ask for the help they needed; if people didn't like the finished idea, they didn't go. It's not the same with a memorial ride, sensitivities are higher and that's even leaving aside the involvement/non-involvement of the family.
Fortunately we have time; a memorial ride in a month or two or three would still be effective. But everyone has to agree to let a very small group organise it, accept their decisions having given their view and make sure it is kept as simple as possible.
I know I don't have the time, ability or energy to organise anything like this anymore than I could have organised the tweed run. But there are people who can and will want to.
