BTW, thanks for bringing up this topic, I have taken in more then $200 in donations over the last week, and plan on buying some ad spots on and offline to promote the forums.
Joe,
Advertising is downright cheap in American Randonneur. You can buy a full page ad for $200 and the magazine's 8000 or so readers are all randonneurs- that is as hard core as a cyclist can get.

Another print publication with reasonable advertising prices is Adventure Cycling. Although not nearly as cheap as RUSA.
