Let the Games BEGIN!!

The Great and Weird Road Dragon Bike Contest







Entry:  To enter the contest you will have to email a submission to RoadDragonContest@gmail.com  But don’t do it yet!!  Please read on.

Okay, to add to the fun, here’s where the grand prize starts.  You’ll be seeing more pictures and details as the contest progresses.


One brand new set of SS/Fixie specific wheels







The prizes are real.  You can ride them, sell them, cannibalize them for parts, or give them to your significant other.  Your choice.


“How do I enter?  And what do I have to do?”
It’s going to be fairly simple, but not necessarily easy.  You will have to answer some questions based on this blog, on cycling in general, on Peachtree City, and on Fayette County.  Then you will have to write some short (really) answers to several “essay” type questions.

One question will appear each weekday, somewhere, on this blog.  (Don’t worry, they won’t be hidden, and will be clearly labeled.)  When the last question is posted, you can complete your entry email and send it in.  Feel free to attach pictures.  In answering the contest questions, points will be given for accuracy, originality, and humor.


Qualification Requirements and Rules:
  1. Contestants must have a valid email address on my distribution list for the “Tuesday Tome.”  You can get on the “Tome” distribution list by sending an email to The.road.dragon@gmail.com and requesting to be put on the list.  I do not share this list.  You may ask to be removed from the list at any time.
  2. No money is required.  You don’t pay me a thing.
  3. Contestants must be dues paid up members of Southside Cycling Club.  Yearly dues for the club are $25.00 per family.
  4. Membership in Erin’s Fight Team (An MS fundraising organization) is helpful, and will be considered as a “tie breaker.”  Go to http://www.erinsfight.org/ to learn more.
  5. Contestants must be logging ride mileage on the Southside Cycling Club’s website, on the “Miles Tracker” feature.
  6. Contestants will need to be familiar with the contents of this blog
  7. Contestants must be over 18 years of age.
  8. One entry per contestant.
  9. Multiple entries from a family are acceptable, but each must have their own unique email address, and it must be on my “Tome” distribution list.
  10. Contestants must reside on the planet Earth, and be capable of visiting Peachtree City, GA, USA, from time to time.
  11. All entries become my property.
  12. Winners are responsible for prize pickup, or for shipment.
  13. It’s my contest.  I get to pick the winners.  My decision is final.
  14. Contest will run until I have received a sufficiently large number of entries.
  15. Contest End, and winners will be announced in the "Tuesday Tome," an email newsletter.
  16. Winning contestants will be notified in advance of the "Tome" publication.
  17. Contest winners may choose to have their names omitted from the announcements.
Important Note:  I want to see a lot of folks enter.  I have a number in mind.  I won't announce a winner until I hit that number of entries.  It is not a huge number, but it's not insignificant.  So get your friends to get qualified and enter too.  The more the merrier, and the sooner we get to the winners.


Contest Question #1)  What is your name?
Contest Question #2)  What is your “handle” on the South Side Cycling Club website?

  2. I am so excited, and so grateful that you are doing such a cool contest. Is there deadline to get submissions? From the looks of question three, I'll need at least the weekend to compile answers.

  3. Glad you asked that, Dave. Keep reading. You won't have all the questions for a while yet, and I'm no where near announcing a deadline yet.
