*** 1st ANNUAL MRA 'GIRO D'HIGH PLAINS' BICYCLE BENEFIT CRITERIUM ***


So, I talked with Tony this past weekend and we thought it would be fun to organize an on-track bicycle race at the next round on Saturday night following the races. All proceeds will go to Zach and family to help offset his medical and crash-related expenses. In addition, Joe Logalbo is organizing a silent auction for Zach in concurrence with the benefit race, so keep an eye out for that.

$10 entry for riders/racers (feel free to contribute more to "Zach Fund" at entry). Following a Le Mans-style start, we'll hold a five lap sprint race on the shortened course to ensure spectators can see all of the madness (cut-off at turn 4-short and then again at 8/9). 1st place will receive $30, 2nd wins $20 and 3rd gets $10. The remaining amount will go directly to Zach and family. In addition, 'BEST DRESSED' participant, as voted on by spectators, will receive a prize package from BlackBerry (1x PlayBook 32gb tablet & 1x BlackBerry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway - approx combined value ~$500).

Details are loose and recommendations are appreciated (i.e. start time, feedback, comments, concerns, etc). This should be a fun way for us to build camaraderie once the track goes cold and will hopefully raise a small amount of coin for a fellow rider who needs it. The only two confirmed items are that we will require a helmet (motorcycle helmet - will make for funny pics) and will have a Le Mans-style start.

I've already acquired these two trophies... First place will receive the cyclist trophy (in addition to their purse, which they can choose to donate back to Zach Fund) and second place will receive the infamous golden loser milking goaticorn trophy



So, break out the Huffy, water bottle and spandex and be a part of the 1st annual MRA Giro d'High Plains (tour of High Plains) Bicycle Criterium!!!
