My Goal

Riding across Iowa the end of April..

Meeting Time: This Wednesday there is a meeting taking place that should help define a few key points in regards to T.I.V6. There may even be some recon as well. If all goes well, and there is no reason to believe it won’t, a lot of dominoes will start to fall real quick in regards to how the rest of recon will go, and the key parts of the event should be well defined.

Registration: One of the immediate outcomes of this upcoming meeting will be the announcement of Registration. I suppose you could say this is an announcement that there will be an announcement! At any rate, look closely for that directly after the Wednesday meeting.

You can expect that I will be letting in past participants first. This means you took the starting line at a T.I. before. Then after about a week or so, the registration will be opened to anyone else interested that gets a post card in for one of the remaining spots. A daily tally will be kept so that those of you waiting to know what is going on can keep track. Again, we’ll be letting in 75 people, and a “Waiting List” of any overflow will be kept to fill in any roster spots that become available through attrition. I’ll do this swapping in from the “Waiting List” until 1-31-10. After that point, no fill ins will be taken on, and the roster will be allowed to contract if folks drop out after that point.

Registration will be by post card only. You can get your post card in by whatever means you want. In the past I have received overnight express packages, pizzas with cards attached, beer with cards attached, cards slipped under the Europa Cycle and Ski’s front door, drop offs by courier, and of course, by regular mail. You can bring your post card by donkey or carrier pigeon, but it has to be a post card. Also, there is no “official post card”. You can make your own up, or have someone else do it for you. You can buy “el cheapo” post cards at the Post Office, or use fancy-schmancy ones from far flung travel destinations. Again, it doesn’t matter, but the more fun, the better.

Finally, I will be asking for specific information on that post card. Every item of info I ask for must be on the card, and it must be legible by me! Important point folks! If I can not read yer writin’, you are not gettin’ in. I won’t warn you, or let you know. You have one chance to get it right. Don’t blow it! Write legibly or lose! I will announce what the specific information I want is at the time of the Official Registration Announcement.
