Okay.....so....if you were kinda on the fence about donating to TheRev's Challenge in support of my ride to raise money for LiveSTRONG and other cancer fighting initiatives...and the prospect of seeing me have to wear an Obama For President shirt during a portion of the ride wasn't enough, hopefully this is enough to get you off the fence!

Beginning TODAY, 8/21/2012 and running through 9/21/2012, each $25.00 donation increment gets your name thrown into the hopper for a chance to win a 2012 Pinarello Treviso bicycle, worth about $1,500.00, to be selected at our Silent Auction in Atlanta on 9/21/2012...You do NOT have to be present to win...

Pinarello makes a great bike! Bradley Wiggins and Team SKY rode Pinarellos to victory in this year's Tour de France! So, it's a quality bike!

The only real catch is that IF you win and you're not IN Georgia, you may have to pay shipping as that's not in our charitable budget! ;)

So, $25.00 gets you one chance to win. $50 gets you TWO chances, $100.00 gets you FOUR chances, etc. The sky's the limit, really and you can donate as much as you want, just remember that each $25.00 increment gets you another chance for the door prize!...

Great Deal, right? We thought so too....

But wait! There's MORE ;)

This particular bike is a one-of-a-kind....

It's been signed by both Bob "Bobke" Roll and by Lance Freakin' Armstrong, himself!

I got Bobke to sign it when I won it at last year's ride.

We then shipped it to Austin for the Ride for The Roses, but Lance was contractually prohibited from signing it since it's a Pinarello....

However, our bike team is somewhat enterprising so - since Lance is an honorary Pirate - we got him to sign a LiveSTRONG decal for us and we had THAT affixed to the bike...

So, what you'll have a chance to win is the world's ONLY Pinarello signed by Bob Roll and Lance Armstrong!

Here's a Facebook note about it, complete with pictures....

Damn you, Jay!!! The McNeese Athletic Foundation needs to hire you as a fundraiser. I can't pass up buying a few chances for that bike. :D

I honestly don't think we will make it to 2,000 bucks..but we are near 1,300..and the fact that we raised that much for this is a success in my book, and while I will write an official thank you think when FPC does the ride, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you who has donated to the Rev's challenge. This has been a great turn out.

I'm not sure we won't get there. There is likely to be more activity on the site in next 3 weeks as far as people seeing things, posting etc.. than there has been in the last couple of months.

Guys, I wanted to bump this. FPC rides in a few short weeks and we are still short of the 2k goal.

If we don't make the 2k goal, I still want to thank everyone for helping out on this cause. I think we made a big difference.

Thanks to AppAlum2003 for his donation to the cause today!

Rev, let's see how close we get to the $2k. I might be inclined to negotiate somewhat on the terms of our agreement! ;)

AppAlum2003, thank you for the support and the great donation! You Rock!

It looks like I'm gonna be at the App State / Chatty game next week....any of you Appsters gonna be tailgating in Chattanooga??

What is the total at now FPC. Man I'm gonna feel like an *** after typing this if I look at your last post and see it there.
