Come Ride With Me

Challarmy1

I received an invitation to join a team that will be participating in the Lance Armstrong Challenge.  This is an event that will take place in California in July 2008.  I really want to do this for many reasons.

I received such a nice letter and invitation from one of my readers.  I have always tried to keep Cancer Awareness in the forefront of all my journalizing whenever I could.  This is for the memory of Cliff and all the families that have been touched by Cancer.  It's something I can write and report about on my Blog.  Lance Armstrong will be there, I think, and I would love to see him or get a picture with him. Maybe TREK can intervene here on several levels.

Here are some of the things I need to work out. 

  • I need to get a company to sponsor my ride.
  • I don't know these team members, how do I work through that?
  • I  will need to drive myself to San Jose and it is quite a clip on my own, although I can do it.

What I am asking from you folks is this; do you recognize anything here that I am not seeing?  Does anyone have any suggestions for the "Newby".  Any concerns or tips you could pass along regarding the travel, the sponsor, participating in the actual event?  I have got time but would like some help putting this together and making this happen.  Not only is it a great cause, but it would be another milestone for me to accomplish and I think that is one of the reasons I was chosen for this venue.  I have nothing to loose and everything to gain.  Please let me hear from you.

By the way "Go Levi"

Marie,

Of the 3 things you listed, I can help you with 2 of the 3.
Not knowing the Team Members - Click on the link below and then click on the item that reads Clovis Resident Participates in LiveStrong Ride. The guy being interviewed, the Team Leader, the one who would love to have you on the team, is me.

Need a ride to San Jose - Why not drive to Clovis and then you can ride with the team to San Jose!

Anyway, I hope this gets you closer to considering joining us.

Andrew
