Planning to host a one day tour - fee ride

[ridergirl50]

Does anyone have a planning guide for setting up a ride?  For example, if you think about your favorite annual ride, there are people at the registration table, at the SAG's, driving roving SAG's. The routes are marked and you have maps.  There may be police support, sponsors providing coupons, and a bike shop with a vendor tent.  All those things don't "just happen". I'm looking for a way to break it down over the months before the ride so it is a manageable task and not a fire drill!
