Some of you already know, but it's time to make it official.

Recently I was offered a new job, and unless something goes wildly awry, I will be moving from South Florida to Georgia this January. So it's time to say goodbye to Hollywood and put Georgia on my mind. Hinesville here I come.

To all the great freinds I have made in the SFRR. I'm definitely going to miss the camaraderie on the rides. While only 6-hours away by car, it's a little too far to travel for a metric, so it will put a damper on joining in on weekend rides down here. Hopefully I will be able to make it down for the HPRA.

But do worry, as I will still visit this site. (Jose should especially look out).

Shari good to hear from you hope you doing well. I must say called the
number on KIds in distress  web site and was told that 100% of entry fee goes
to run the cyling event again I repeat that is what I was told when I called the
telephone number on their site. Participant must make a saparete donation if
they want  to.  I must say that even if no money goes to the charity the
exposure and awardness they get out of the event might be worth it.

Sergio,

The amount going to Kids in Distress is probably close to 50% and most
likely more, of the profits from the proceeds going to the charity.
I'm basing that on the distribution from the SBW Century.

Century proceeds are used to fund the club, promote cycling as a
healthy form of exercise and transportation, and to provide bikes to
kids who would not otherwise get one.  Our sponsors were generous this
year, so after expenses (T-shirts, food, rental equipment, etc.), we
had quite a sum left.  We know what it takes to run the club for a
year, so after we deducted that, we allotted the rest to a variety of
kids' bike give-away programs, about $14K.

If you wanted to figure it out on a per-rider basis, I'd say it was
probably around $20-$25 out of each $35 entry fee going directly to
kids' bikes and bike related programs.

The KID charity may not have as many expenses (no actual club to run
and even more generous sponsors), so the percentage going directly to
KID may be closer to 75%.

OK Hoser, GIVE ME A BREAK! I'm OLDER than you and I'm still able to
hang in there on some fast rides. QUIT PIGGING OUT after your rides
and listening to that Sergio auditor / banker guy and you will be OK!
;-) (Possible shot there) Let's get motivated here! If not, I'm going
to get you a Century Village Jersey! (Absolute SHOT there...)

Sorry Sergio, I guess my meaning of the word "Audit" is different from
yours. I don't know how the funds are split up, but I believe the
people that have put this on for the past few years are lagitiment.
I'm looking forward to it on my Aero or Agio.

Jose', I think a simple YES would do! :-) But that's ok, your
explanation is amusing even if Mr. Sergio is now breathing a sigh of
relief!

Are you keeping it below 16 MPH because Joe.
Or because of Hose? ;-)
BTW this sounds like a good trainning ride for those doing Sebring.

Anchy,

    Having recently purchased a P-38 I have an opinion. For reference I have owned a

highly modified Bachetta Strada, same in a Bachetta Giro. I started with a Bike E,

but I don't think that counts.

    If you like the more upright seating position, the P-38 may be of interest to you.

Rather than finding it "squirrly", I think it is just more responsive, athletic, and just

gives me the feeling of "wanting to run". For handling, speed, and just plain fun, I

haven't ridden anything that compares. Is it as fast as a high racer? Not quite, but

it will outclimb most all of them unless you have an ultralight/high end one. For all

around urban, rural, and not so good road surfaces, in my opinion it is better than

a high racer, having owned one.

    Best thing is to take a good ride on one to get a feel for it. I am going to put

a tail sock and a fairing on to see if that will put me over speed wise with the

high racers and then I'll have the best of everything.......just my two cents.....Mark

.

Hey  Hose I see yuo are doing a double metric early Jauary is this trainning
for  12 hrs of Seabring?

Well I owned a P-38 and it was an OK bike. The observations here are
correct, add to that if you have an Aero (Fat) belly, this bike might
not be for you. The seat has you sitting in an more upright crunch
posistion. The frame being rather short with a 700cc and 20 front does
make the bike a tad squrrely. If I were in the market for  "SWB" which
  I get from your interest in a P-38; I'd also check out the Bacchetta
SWB's. Very popular with this group. Below is a link to my my P-38.

No, and I don't try and pre-audit events based on that. If so, then I
would have wondered how much of the $$$ would be going to Share the
Road from yesterdays memorial event. If I did that kind of... I'd
never participate in any event.

Experienced/Advanced Level Metric - Date: Saturday December 2, 2006
Time: 6:45 am - 10:45 am

Location: Lester's Diner - NW 136th Street & NW 12th Ave
Street: NW 136th Street & NW 12th Ave
City/State/Zip: Sunrise, Florida

Phone: 954-673-0072

This is an fairly fast metric. The goal is to have at least a 17 MPH
average by the end of the ride so the cruising speed will be about 18-
19 MPH. Meet @ 6:45 AM at Lester's diner and be ready to pedal by 7 AM.
One short rest stop after 30 miles or quick STP stops in case of
biological emergencies. We'd like to finish before 10:45 AM!!!

Warning! If you can't maintain at least 17 MPH, we'll have to drop you,
something we do NOT like to do.

-That's why I was asking, It makes a big difference on my Tour Easy,
wonder if I really need to spend $500 for one for my Hal........I was
hoping you had one and the difference would be significant.  Thanks,
Joe
