Hi folks. I'm posting this on the Porch because more people visit here than in Sports.
I'm working with Terry to get a multi-day Hill country tour (vacation like, not race)
organized. Tentative schedule, fall of 2005. My feeling is it would be a great
pre-curser to the new United Texas Tour (pro race) that will be staging out of Dallas
in Sept 2005.
I, as some of you know, live in Massachusetts, but am an Austinite at heart. I can take
care of building a site for this event, sending emails to cycling clubs for 'best
route' info, but I need some folks on the ground locally.
I need people as ride leaders; there will be people of different riding levels, so I
need leaders willing to handle different speeds & distances. You need to be able to
handle those little road emergencies like tire changes and jumped chains. You need to
be able communicate safe (and legal) riding technique. You need to have fun! At this
point, these are volunteer positions, though I'm sure we can talk Terry into feeding
everybody with the guests at BastropFork Ranch ;-)
Suggestions... route info... anything; send me an email; gena.ratcliff@comcast.net
If you have a friend who would make a great ride leader but isn't on the Spring, copy
this post and email it to them.
Thanks folks!

Trying googling the Austin bicycle sites and sending out some direct appeals if you
think this will get results faster. I'm not sure how many local cyclists read this
bbs.
