Pick me!! ;)
I never win anything, but I've been having fun looking at all of the planned trips this year, dreaming about which one I'll pick when I win!

I can't find their privacy policy. Before I give them my info I'd like to know what they're going to do with my data. Do you have a link to their policy?

Roadie Gal- I can tell you from getting their magazine for a year I seem to be on mailing lists for different bike tours now. I don't really mind but you might want to see if they will let you opt out. We get so much junk mail a bike tour is refreshing instead of the bills and churches in the area. But that is just my house.
I entered too. There are a lot of great options... I'd be interested in the California Winter Warmer ride, Montana ride, or the Sierra ride... However, getting to the starting point might be difficult.
SO, while I am a South Dakota resident and have been to the black hills many times, I've never biked there. Frankly, I don't understand how cyclists share the same roads as SO MANY tourists do. Plus, I don't get to go to the hills just for fun very often. I get there a few times a year for work. I think that if I won I would pick the Black Hill loop. It seems the best way to satisfy my desire to bike in that region. That'd be awesome. Though, I'm hesitant about the many many hills that we'd ride. I've not walked a bike up a hill in a long time. I'd be close on that ride. Snails might be faster than me.
However, that tour runs the same week as the Tour de Kota. I haven't signed up for that one yet.
One time when I was in Rapid for work I happened to be staying at the hotel where cyclists on the TransAm ride were lodging too. I asked them about their trip, but they seemed fatigued. They were only half way through the ride and were already anticipating home. I don't know that I would be doing that ride anytime soon. It's an awesome thought, but a LONG time to be gone. Perhaps when I retire in 30 years.
yeah me too.Quote:

I believe they have the ability to put your name on a "do not share" list if you call/write them about it...
So they are where I get the flyers for things like Bonton Roulet, Tour of Colorado, etc. Other than it being wasteful because I will not be able to travel to them it is kind of neat. I like to look at them and figured that was the source.
I've given them my email once again... though I have to say with trepidation.... They had their security breached before. I was getting some serious non-cycling spam (like buy my viagra kind of junk, or I have 10 million dollars in a Nigerian bank account kind of junk) through the email address I gave specifically to them at one point in time. (We own our domain - so we can give anyemail@ourdomain.com, and thus tell what the source of our junk mail is...). When I asked them to look into their leak they were actually kind of rude to me.....
