Where the Women make their Money

Who ever said I was using this as an angle to get sponsorship? Surely I am not stupid enough to try and get something with a negative angle like that. Perhaps you and EunuchKunich should go back and read the original post again.

My sponsor packet is all about flash, fast and hot looking chicks on bikes showing lots of logos. It just screams "YOU MUST GIVE THESE WOMEN MONEY".

Is that the guy who is famous around the world for embezzling funds
from the race. It would be in his best interest to grow the race.

You didn't. But you did bring the subject up. Thought I'd suggest that you not.

Hell, I don't really know you well enough to know that up front. Trust me that
sort of approach has been tried, a lot.

Sleek women saying give me money. That can work. Guys do respond to that sort of
thing.

"Pay enough and your name goes right here." <point>

Good luck and have fun.

No, I was talking about Rick Geist, Pennsylvania state representative and cycling enthusiast.

You're thinking of Kirk Leidy. Basically, his accusers have backed off, mumbling that they don't actually have any evidence against him, they just though they'd accuse him of something for the hell of it (that's my paraphrase, of course). But he's no longer involved with the TdT.
