In February 2016, Planet Ride launched online talks to help Planet Riders prepare their trips. The idea was to speak directly with a destination specialist, discover their tours and ask questions. The first session focused on motorcycle trips in the USA with Marcel.
Planet Ride’s first online talk
On Thursday, February 18, 2016, Marcel, then Planet Ride’s USA motorcycle specialist, joined Planet Riders online. For nearly 40 minutes, Baptiste, Planet Ride’s managing director, and Marcel presented the motorcycle road trips offered in the United States. Participants could also ask questions and share their concerns about their upcoming journeys.
