American Specialty does cheap club insurance that involves club events.
As far as orgs doing events, I think that would be a good way to do it, but more often it's just individuals putting events on, sometimes using facilities of places like the Bike Church. My model is keeping it informal and yes, hoping for the best.

Hey all--
I've noticed a bunch of groups out there sponsoring events that include alley cats and such. All the people I've talked to about liability have always said that we, as an entity couldn't sponsor a ride with out paying a ton for insurance. I know that some groups use bike club insurance to cover rides, but I've always assumed that most insurance companies wouldn't cover an event like an alley cat. Am I wrong?
How have you guys dealt with the issue of liability for rides and alley cats? just ignore it and hope for the best? other sneaky things? I always feel like such a stick in the mud when people want us to do alley cats and we say we can't cause of liability....
