We Have a Date!

Okay. We are confirmed for August 9th at Junctionview Studios in Grandview. We will start at 6 a.m. at Junctionview (everyone can park their cars there if they drive in) and bike to High St. I think we will probably bike up High St. to 270 and then turn around and bike back down to 270 on South High and then back up to Junctionview making it a total of about 40-45 miles. This route could change. We will see.

We will be watching all the Rocky movies (1-6) which run a collective 11 hours. That means we will be done for the day by 10 p.m. at the latest. Throughout the day F-14 Hellkat, aka The Artful Dodger, will be tattoing. Riders will head out to her to get tattooed. We will have details soon as to where she will be tattooing. Also, I will get some definite size limits from her soon but the color and detail and size of your tattoo will be limited so it can be done in 30 minutes as we only have one artist and I am planning on 15-20 participants in this Awesomefest. We will provide a couple tattoo options such as the soon-to-be revealed Awesomefest logo if you are unsure as to what tattoo you should get.

Again, I hope to have P2 Pedal Power there for the grand finale of Rocky Balboa so we can add another sweet (and local) bike element to the day.

Also, we now have a teaser poster for the event thanks to Erin Holcomb.

Now we are trying to raise a bit of support to bring the overall cost of the event down so that everyone can participate. We have the space. We have the shirts covered. We can use donations of food, items for goody bags and door prizes. Contact me if you know of a possible donor or if you are interested in volunteering in some way. Specifically, we will need a couple volunteers at two points of the bike path to pass out water and energy bars.

The Awesomefest email is Awesomefest2008@gmail.com and you can make secure payments and donations to this email address through Paypal. I will announce the entry fee in the next week or so but it will be $75 or less. I expect it will be around $50 which will include a tattoo, an Awesomefest shirt, a goody bag of assorted bike stuff, food and drinks throughout the day and a few prizes. Not too mention movies and awesomeness.
