THE 2008 TEXAS TIME TRIALS
The Texas Time Trials Lives On: With your help we will once again resurrect The Texas Time Trials, to life. With a new date this year, The Tejas 500 will start on Thursday September 25th (48 hour start). We will need all the supporters, riders, sponsors and volunteers we can find to make this event a success, again. Please join in by spreading the word and helping with the list below. If you know a website or chat room that you can forward this to or post it to, that would be greatly appreciated.
Racers: The website should be updated before mid Aug., with more updates to follow. If you are planning on doing a team, get your pick of the litter before they are gone to another team. Many think that the 4 person 500-mile "Tejas 500" is the most fun and I can see why, you get to spend three fourths of your time resting. With a 4-person team, each person rides 125 miles with-in two days and your done! Every member of a team completing 500 miles earns a * GORGEOUS trophies (

Volunteers: You make the difference volunteers! Bring out your squirt guns, fireworks, wigs & noise-makers. With racers starting Thursday night and all races ending Saturday evening, volunteers are critical to keeping a festive and safe race. Camping is available on-site, so bring your tent. Except for smiling and yelling, no experience necessary, won't you join us? Check out our cheerleaders and volunteer info!
http://www.tt24tt.com/volunteers.php Every volunteer will receive a T-shirt with their name printed on the back, and their name will be placed on the website, but more importantly by volunteering you will become a part of something much bigger than any thing we could do on our own.
Sponsors: We need sponsors, preferably cash sponsors, but product is great. If you know a company that would be willing to sponsor The Texas Time Trials, we will add their logo to the event T-shirts and more. Check out the sponsor page on the TTT website.
The Atmosphere: What I love about this event is that amongst all the world class athletes, are regular riders like you and me, Last years event brought riders from more than a dozen different states and even another country. Let's show the world that long distance riding is alive and well in Hospitable North Texas. The Texas Time Trials has become a reunion, we get to see and talk to people that we love, but may only get to see once a year at The Time Trials. It has become our annual pilgrimage to a place were all pitch in to keep a worthwhile tradition alive. It has become our own cycling Woodstock.
Lone Star Randonneurs: Although this is not a Randonneuring event per say, it is the way that we the members of LoneStar Randonneurs can give a little back to rest of the world. It is due in part to Lone Star Randonneur members like Rani F., Bill F. Pam W. Don E., Rick H., Jorge R. Mark-Linda-Lauren M., Brad-Julie F., Steve-Kelly B., Carl F. Frank B., Pat N., Brenda B., DeeAnn J., Phil S., Kyl S., Shanna B. and a bunch more, that really make it happen. I'm counting on every member of LSR to help in some way, if possible. Any one got some fresh ideas ? Please let us know where you will fit in to this part of our "History Book".
