Details of the race will be released in the following days. The first and biggest part being the name, will be given now...

Oh yea!!
Was it your genius that thought up the name Todd? Should I come by your house and pick up some flyers?
This is going to be huge!
oops, the post by airwolf is my buddy and i didn't realize i was logged in on his name. anyways, if you need any help mapping out the race or checkpoint stuff just ask. i live in downtown so if it's downtown i can easily help with that stuff. talk to airwolf as well, he is down for helping out too. he even mentioned donating a small messenger bag filled with parts for the winner.

Starting tomorrow morning questions and sponsor offers can be directed to todd@horroh.com
All sponsors will be greatly appreciated and promoted accordingly. I already have a few great prizes secured, but the more the better. Like I said...more details will be released soon.
Jamey, please let airwolf know that I'd be happy to accept anything his shop can offer. Thanks!

If you want to do it scavenger hunt style I have a HUGE St. Pete-specific list I put together awhile back and never used because I can't organize myself out of bed in the morning, let alone a whole race. Anyway, if you want to use it or even just look at it and laugh at it, let me know. I guess that would DQ me, but whatever, I'll just keep score or something.
Also, Fixed Fight means no gears allowed? That would DQ a lot of people we could probably talk into participating.

I like that you guys are excited about this...
Today's piece of information released will be to clarify a part of the race. Which bikes are welcome to ride...?
All Bike Types Welcome
The track bike is obviously the main contender. Invites will be offered to BMX guy, Cyclo-Cross guy, Roadie guy and the girl on the pink fixie that knocks you out. Think you can win it on a beach cruiser?
There will always be somebody that comes to an alleycat with 28 gears, brakes and more spandex then an 80's dance party. Well, now is your chance to knock them and anyone else out all at once. It's going to suck if some punk on a BMX bike beats your *****.

You just convinced me to show up on my road bike in my skinsuit.

Awww, of course Jamey. You probably know the city on a bike a lot better than I do. I just know how to get to the bars and the Dali.

Everyone needs to start spreading the word on this in your town now. If you're outside the St. Petersburg area and think you have a place where some flyers would get some people involved...let me know. Send me an email (todd@horroh.com) with your address and we'll get you some flyers asap.
One note to the St. Pete guys (excluding Robb). If you want to help with the race setup (ie. checkpoints and such) you're going to miss out on the race day fun. No un-fair advantages, you know.
Again, I love the excitement and I think we're going to show the out-of-towners a good time. I just want to make sure we have a Tampa/St.Pete contingent that will be racing for our honor when the day comes.
I'd love to have a sit-down over a few pints and hear everyone's ideas. Set it up in the Tampa/St.Pete thread so we can keep this thread clean and race specific. Not much is left to setup outside of a few checkpoints, but Robb and I are open to some unique checkpoint ideas.
Thanks!
P.S.
Another race detail will be released tomorrow!

I want to race, so i'll just help with the flyers. Should I come to this meeting?
And Sara... you can kick my ass! All I do is fall on people's Pistas and waste my money to look fast. Also, you betta get everyone down here with you!

02-16-07, 10:05 PM
we can at least have sweet dork time bike talk.
...oh we will, last night got heavy
I work nights but if y'all are still out after midnight anytime this week I'll stop by. Also, can we consolidate threads here? My clicking finger is getting tired.

The rest of the race details will be released when the flyer is done. Trust me when I say that there will be plenty of reasons you're going to want to be here.
A list of sponsors should be ready next week. This list will continue to grow all the way up to race day.

definitely there, and i'll bring some people (maybe even an internet celebrity)
also, if you could use help with anything let me know

Beer will be provided for sure. I may have to 2nd mortgage my house to pay for all this, but it will be worth it. St. Petersburg will not disappoint!
Hey delicious, PM me your address so I can send you some flyers to spread around down there.

Sunday I rode St. Pete with Todd, Robb, Lukeand Matt. This will be amazing, possibly more fun that Jax. If you live in Jax, Todd is arranging a private jet to guarantee us being there so we can talk tons of ****, drinks 10x more beer and place first.
Jax- get your ****ty spokecard-less conversion bikes and return the favor. they made it to our first, be @ theirs.

Thanks Matt and thank you Accident (I think we've met, but I can't place your name to the screen name).
More things are coming together on this race daily. Big surprises are in the works. Everyone will go home a winner (unless you lose...then you'll go home a loser).
Now, I won't be racing as my attention will be on making sure everyone is having a good time. I have however been training for race day. A box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies every two days. It's going to be a long two months until the race.

Geez, I guess so. You'll have to fly standby though. I may leave everyone sitting on the tarmac for 10 hours while I finish reading the manual "How To Fly A Jet : For Dummies."
