We are adding a new section to pre-bikeweek
of photos from you on what will make you come to BikeWeek (ie. too much snow up
north, the aurora lights told me to, the mudslides, the forest made me too
lonely, etc). Photos must be taken on or after January 1, 2004, first name only and city and a paragraph on what it
is about. Photos will be censored down to a PG level (for people who love too
much).
Email it to bikeweek1. The address is found at the bottom of the page at

We have someone who wrote in about what is making them want to come to Bike
Week this Year.
This is from Spirit and she lives in Gusev. She was raised up
in Cape Canaveral, FL and wants to come here because
her current location is too cold, not enough sunlight, a little dusty, and the
place looks red all the time.
Here is a picture that she sent. Click here
