You must raise a minimum of $50.00 in pledges to ride. You get a free T-shirt
with every pledge. Pledges totaling $100.00 or more get gift certificates (the
value increments the more you pledge; plus T-shirt) to the Sharper Image
catalog or Performance Bicycle.

They also need over 100 volunteers (non-riders) to help with the food and
refreshments, etc.  First 100 volunteers get a T-shirt.

Choose your own route and pace, rain or shine.  There will be catered rest
stops and a welcome after-tour lunch (probably where the volunteers come in). 
There will also be support for riders with sag wagons (what the hell is that??),
mechanical repairs and medical personnel.  ALL RIDERS MUST WEAR HELMETS.

I can make photo copies of the brochure, however, you can register by phone
without it.
