Jason, After discussing with a few folks on the Bike Board, we still have alot of interest to enter the Saris Corral contest. Assuming we have your blessing, could we still take a photo for this location, try to make it look appealing for the photo using cyclists and maybe props, and submit it for the contest? If so, what day and time can we do so? We have to submit by the 25th, so I propose that we do it this weekend or early next week.
