I can talk to a buddy that owns a bike shop and see if he can come up with prizes and some contacts from a few companies to approach.

I can also help with registration and such. I have some skills. Let me know how you did it last year and how you might want to do it this year.

location -> route location

Submitted by ckdake on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 15:49.

location -> route
location -> entertainment
location -> capacity planning
route/location -> appropriate sponsors
sponsors -> prizes
prizes/entertainment/sponsors -> list of things we need to buy
location/sponsors/tobuy/capacity plan -> budget
budget -> registration fee figuring out
fee -> actual pre-registration

for each thing, someone takes it into their own hands, does it, and then the next thing happens. then theres all the stuff that has to happen race day. Sponsors don't have to be on the route, so that can start 6 months ago.

Submitted by Teh Black Hole on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 16:03.

Tracking system is good to go, minus the actual number crunchers (ie. PC's). But scrounging up 5 or six old PC's ain't no thing (I got two here in my room that act as paper weights).
