Joe, Since this site isn't banner supported, how are you coming up with the money for the gear? If you're some sort of cycle loving philanthropist, that's great, but I really hate to see you lose $50 every month in a "contest" that doesn't bring you any financial gain for all of your hard work.
Just my two cents. BTW - I've already referred one person, but it doesn't count because I didn't use the right referral link.
