12th Annual Rails to Trails of the Withlacoochie Bike Ride - We're taking advantage of this Rails to Trails event to have a Florida Trikke Fun Ride. This is a great opportunity for area Trikke riders to participate in a Rails to Trails event. Most importantly, we're (the Trikke community) showing our support for the awesome trails that have been provided for our FREE use year round. Because we're supporting our Rails to Trails programs the Trikke will gain even more respect from the cycling community.
 I've spoken with John Simpson, President, Trikke Tech, Inc and BJ Viers about this event. The three of us; Trikke Tech, Inc, TRIKKE Tampa and First Coast Trikkes will host this Florida Trikke Fun Ride event that is in conjunction with the Rails to Trails 12th Annual Bike Ride. Howev er, you will be responsible for your own registration and fees with the Rails to Trails of Withlacoochie Ride Citizens Support Organization. We will not require any additional fees for our supporting Trikke riders that show to this event. See below for more information on registration for the 12th Annual Rails to Trails of the Withlacoochie Bike Ride.
This isn't a competition. It's an opportunity for our area Trikke riders to meet each other and do a Trikke Fun Ride like Florida has never seen. We hope to see Trikke riders of all ages and all models come from all over the southeast! Be sure to pass this newsletter on to anyone you know that has a Trikke. Help us make this the biggest Trikke gathering and ride ever!
Prizes for Pre-Registrants - Win a FREE TRIKKE T8C-Air! In addition to the event, the Rails to Trails of Withlacoochie will be having a prize drawing for all of the pre-registered participants. Pre-register before Sept 15th to be eligible for the prize drawings. After speaking with the event coordinator he advised me there will be approximately 150 prizes given away. At least 2 of them will be $500+ bicycles. Trikke Tech, Inc, Trikke Tampa and First Coast Trikkes will be donating a new 2007 Deluxe Trikke T8C-Air. The drawing for all prizes will be held by the Rails to Trails Support Organization the night before and a list of all winners will be posted in their booth at the event. This Rails to Trails event is a great opportunity for you to win a new Trikke T8C-Air or other fabulous products donated by area businesses.
What to expect:
-After you check in with the Rails to Trails booth confirming your registration you will need to come and check in at the TRIKKE booth. You'll see our custom TRIKKE Tampa trailer and canopy with banners. BJ and I will be there.
-We'll verify your Rails to Trails registration, have you sign a "Trikke Safety on the Trail" document and give you a TRIKKE goodie bag. The safety document is for your, our and others protection. The Trikke is a unique machine but its driver can be a hazard to himself and others on the trail if proper safety and trail etiquette isn't practiced. We want the reputation of the Trikke and it's driver to be a positive one.
-We'll also mark you down for the amount of miles you plan on riding so we can track your "Rock-N-Miles" Club badge progress.
- Every Trikke rider that shows to the event will receive a free "TRIKKE" goodie bag. Goodie bags include a TRIKKE Tampa t-shirt, a First Coast Trikke's t-shirt and a TRIKKE water bottle from Trikke Tech, Inc. Each bag will also include your choice of a Tampa Trikker's decal and/or a First Coast Trikker's decal that can adhere to your Trikke.
 - If you complete 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 or 100 miles on this day we'll award you your "Rock-N Miles Club" decals to put on your Trikke. This is a way of showing off what you have accomplished and being proud of your awesome Fun-Fitness machine. Click Here to see a sample of the decals. Click the image to the left to see the decals on a Trikke.
