    Awesome. What kind of ride is it gonna be? And do I get a time bonus for painting my face red/white/green?

    PS can the winner get a pink jersey?

    was planning on the pink jersey and cheerleaders with no underwear (see internet photos)

    i think i might make it stage-y like TDF (sprint, deliver, hills), but it's going to be based on architecture.

    dream sponsors: michael graves, italian bike company, local architecture firm, nike.

    I think the event must include a homage to Andy Hampsten.

    depends. would be nice to make the hilly stage a TT, but with TDF, since there were only 8? 9? racers at that point, it was just a first-there-wins.

    I think an event that you had a start location then you had 4 check points that you would go and have to do a task, like a TT. Maybe from the start point is like a kilo sprint, top scores get points. So its kind of a tour, but the stages are miniaturized.

    Just a random idea.

    sounds good. i have 5 months to plan the route. i have sent about 30 emails to bike-industry types. i'm about to start pulling the architecture firm strings. the race route is far from planned.

    I realize its not a big deal...but shouldn't it be "Giro d'Portlandia" not "Giro di Portlandia"?

    No.

    Only if the third word started with a vowel, not consonant.

    Team "Stop building douchey modern condos in SE neighborhoods" may be willing to sponsor.
