Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Help my friend get to the tour de france this year

A young lady I ride with is a finalist (5 remaining) in a cannondale/liquidgas promotion for the tour. The winner gets a new Cannondale and trip to the tour to hang with the team, very cool stuff.

Anyway, they just picked the final 5 people based on a 2 minute video they all submitted. Cannondale/liquidgas will pick the winner based on votes on their facebook page (where you can view the videos). Please take a look and vote for Amy! She is a pasionate cyclist, a teacher/counselor, and just one of the nicest people you'd ever meet out on the road (even when she is dropping you). I'm not sure if this topic is appropriate on BF or not, but I wanted to help out a friend any way possible.

Instructions below:

Video entries are now available for fans to vote on by logging onto Cannondale’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RideCannondale or Peloton Magazine’s Facebook page. Videos and voting capability can be accessed by first liking the page, then clicking the Trip de France icon on the left. Voting runs from now until Friday, June 17th.

Thanks for the help.

I'll also say that some of the videos are worth watching, even if you aren't into the voting thing.

A fellow teacher who also got into cycling with her dad?!! I happily voted for her, and then voted for her again on my other account which I created to let students keep in touch with me.

I had already voted for the guy with the kids who come on and say 'PUHLEEESE get our Dad out of our hair'. I'll go see if I can vote again for your friend.
