I’ve started plotting out all the long distance bike rides I’m considering for 2007. The Mack daddy of them all is the AIDS ride. It’s not enough that you have to ride nearly 600 miles in a week’s time; they require you to raise $2,500 before they even let you ride. That wouldn’t be too much of a problem in Atlanta but I don’t know enough people out here well enough to ask them for $100-250 each. It look like what I’ll have to do is hit up all my Internet homies for $10-50 each. I’m sure at least five of them will come thru. This could be a deal breaker though.
