I like this idea.


How many checkpoints are there?

who cares, none of them involves water, fire or explosives... no fun.

really though, interesting idea.

What's up with the trackstar website, did they not pay the bills?

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now...

Great cause. By legends, do they mean people like Eddie Merckx, or tall tales
like the legend of sleepy hollow?

something along the lines of the paintings of Taliah Lempert or Pat Cleary or even illustrations that adorn alleycat flyers.. (i remember a halloween flyer that riffed on sleepy hollow, actuually)

if there were a book about cycling myths and legends, i would buy it.

Like that rabbit that got sliced in half by the Spinergy wheel?

Like that squirrel that got sliced in half by the wheel?

OH **** that is funny!@!

i wonder if some of my nude self portraits would count.

I actually have nude portraits of MSNGR, they are really *impressive*.

wow i didn't know save the children was a real charity

hay artists!
go and dig that crayon drawing of trackstanding godzilla out of the trash - you still have time to send it in!

I don't know any cycling legends, but I can draw Dilbert fairly well. Does he count as a cycling legend? What if I draw him in a Chico's Bail Bonds team spandex kit?
