- Fix the price before it goes upThe cost will somewhat increase after either group reaches 12 people, as we’ll need more ride-leaders to split and ride safely. To fix the price and guarantee your slot, it’s enough to make a prepayment of 95 €. Full payment is due before 14 April. (Upd: has already increased for the long route.)
