Out of the office and into the action!
Experience report by Oskar
Summer, sunshine, a company outing in the Eifel with horsepower and power
30-degree heat in the office, the exhausting hum of computers, open windows, sticky leather chairs… Who doesn’t know the feeling?
Who hasn’t found themselves distracted during working hours by thoughts about what they could do after a tiring, hot day at the office? Don’t you want to bring a little variety into your life, and not just at weekends? Most of the time, though, you still end up on the sofa…
Who am I? What do I do? What do I love about working as an event manager?
I’m Oskar and I manage event projects as an event manager at b-ceed. The Wild Rally Xtreme
is one of my favourite events. It starts with project planning, when I get in touch with our kind, empathetic partner “Alex”, and ends with saying goodbye to delighted, satisfied guests.
A trip to Rieden with our guests for the Wild Rally Xtreme
The journey from our event agency
in Euskirchen to Rieden is picturesque, I think. You set off from fairly flat Euskirchen and drive along the A61, ever deeper into the hilly, green Eifel. When I arrive in Rieden, our rally guide “Alex” welcomes me. It’s always interesting to see how this little village is suddenly awash with our customers’ company cars shortly before the start time. We often arrange the bus transfer for our customers at the same time, so the journey to the Eifel is more relaxing for the guests.
High-powered rally in Rieden: Polaris ATV vehicles for two to six people
As project manager, I usually ride in the 6-seater Polaris vehicle, driven by Alex. I sit in a strange position in the back seat and take photos facing backwards, capturing the guests’ journey. Personally, though, I enjoy this task, as I can combine my hobby of photography with a wild off-road drive.
At first, along the path and road, and then off-road cross-country
The vehicles are powerful Polaris ATVs. Their horsepower is evident right from the start, even on the paved road. Caution: The rear end can break away very quickly here too. For some people, the tour itself is challenging. Driving off-road requires concentration, logic and sometimes overcoming your inhibitions. You should always bear in mind that you have a passenger.
All permitted: over hill and dale through the Eifel “jungle”
The unusual thing about the tour in Rieden is certainly the variety of routes and the fact that they are not artificial, purpose-built
routes. No, Alex has obtained permits, so that we can even drive through nature reserves. It’s incredible to see how the ATVs can tackle inclines of even 50° deep in the forest, between branches and bushes.
Unforgettable company outing: The Wild Rally is a hit
I have an unforgettable day every time I take part in the “Wild Rally Xtreme Tour”. As project manager, I get to enjoy it too.
The most important thing for me is seeing the results of my work: satisfied, beaming guests, for whom I have been able to offer a change from everyday office life. The trip into the muddy greenery with the Wild Rally Xtreme stays in people’s minds for a long time and will certainly leave some wanting to do it again.
