Hi cp and FYI all ... you accidentally included the two Powells guys on
your Reply-all list - better remove them or they'll be spammed with
emails from the biking community and my name will be Susan Slough
(author of Romancing the combine harvestor). In general, do not hit
reply-all, and always check who is on a cc-list and remove addresses if
you must. Use Bcc more often. So as not to waste this communication,
cp: Email Lon Haldeman haldeman at pactour dot com as he is building a
school in Peru.

Hey two-wheelers,
I have a question for anybody who can offer me input or suggestion...
I am have been thinking about it for awhile and am just getting around
to it.
I hve been kicking around the idea to do something where I can either
solicit pledges from people or organize a ride (ala Reach the beach,
but probably a smaller scale)for the benefit of a local school or
children's charity or something. The pledges would be for all miles I
ride during the year (getting pledges from folks to say they would give
XX number of cents per mile ridden during the year).
My questions are:
1) Does anybody know about the legal ramifications of an idea like this?
2) Is it even a realistic thought?
3) Is anybody interested in participating with me on it?
My motivation is that I am insane-nutso-fanatical about pedaling my
bike at any and all opportunities I can get and I thought if I could
somehow incorporate a little philanthropy in there, it would be even
better!
Any input would be much appreciated thanks for your help. I'm just
trying to brainstorm here and get the ball rolling.
