The template for the callout email
Hey,
Ecotopia Biketour is a self-organized political bicycle tour that has been cycling through different parts of Europe each summer since 1990. Between June and September 2016, we will cycle through Baltic States, Poland, Belarus and Russia. On our way we will visit self-organized alternative social centres, anti-racist and feminist groups, self-sustainable communities, environmental campaigns and other projects trying to create a better society. We are an always changing group of different ages, nationalities and political backgrounds, usually between 20 to 40 people.
We would be interested in visiting you on our way. We don't have any exact dates yet but, if possible, would like to stay with you for two to four nights.
We will probably be around 20-40 people (about 12-24 tents). We cannot afford and oppose the idea of paying for sleeping (apart from a small donation to cover any costs that we have caused for electricity and water) but are very happy and eager to do some work in return for your hospitality. We also cook three meals a day (we have cooking equipment with us and cook on fire), which you are happily invited to join. Would you be interested in our visit?
